I thought your intention was to provide an example for plugin developers to use 
to create their own blocks, which this would accomplish without the need for an 
additional core plugin.

I don't like the idea of adding a new plugin that provides a block to core just 
so we can have a plugin that provides a block, that's never been the Habari 
way. If the overwhelming majority of users aren't going to use it it's always 
been our policy that it should be left in -extras and I don't see any of the 
suggested options so far (aside from dashboard modules) being used by the vast 
majority of our install base.

That said, if we wanted to provide a plugin that really used blocks well (ie: 
got block wrappers and scopes right, used the block CSS classes assigned, etc.) 
and offered some common requests (monthly archives, recent posts, recent 
comments) I wouldn't be opposed to that.
