I also go for a very slim core. But that requires that extensions/components
aren't regarded as low quality code on a rubbish dump called TER.
Extensions need to be regarded as necessary components that build a
functional product upon the basic layer. And they need to be named as that.

But the ugly architecture of tslib_pibase and it's mean fostering over the
years by the core team reviels a mentality, where extension are not much
more than tedious adnexa, but no components of imporatance. The reactions
of the core team to our requests show, that the requirements of
extension/component developers are still of few importance today. For me
that's a dead-end street in architecture, a dead-end street in mentality,
and also a dead-end street for a community, cause there is no option to
grow.

Eclipse is taking the component way, OpenOffice goes the component way. Both
build upon a slim basic layer. Both have workgroups for different
components. Sure. It's more difficult to synchronize, more difficult to
oraganzie, but IMHO it's a necessary setup for a framework that perpares
for the growing demands for future web applications.
