Facebook is not essential for the core, but cache clearing is. Currently you 
can either clear the whole cache or single pages. As TYPO3 uses inheritance 
a lot, a branch cache clearing is missing. And this is clearly a core 
feature.
I do support adding this feature to core directly.
IMHO it could be part of the pagetree -> branch actions.

If you want a slime core, then start about dropping no essential stuff like:
* linkvalidator
* import/export
* indexed search
* BE news
* task center
* reports
* configuration (the module)
...

The questions are always:
* How many people need it?
* Can the core function without it?
* How much is it tied with the core?
* How usable is the core without it?
* ...

That is not the point, is it?

We should try to ship a core that is usable to the average integrator, not 
one that is a boilerplate for big companies customization.

That is my opinion and I know you are more a purist in this regard.
