upgrade problems can be lessened by putting those modules into modules.gotpike.org
other than that, there has been a discussion about reducing the core simply because it is to big at the moment. i'd like to se a lot more modules moved out from the core.
starting with obscure rarely used modules seems like a good place. we got to start this process somewhere.
of course, they should be moved modules.gotpike.org right away so they don't get lost. anyone volunteering to do that?
greetings, martin.
