CGI is part of the core, and honestly, I wish it wouldn't. It mixes several functionalities, it's quite large, there are lightweight replacements for parts of it, it's aging, etc. To take an example, in Mandrakelinux, it has been put out of the core, in its own RPM. Why ? So it can be installed independently, and, (more importantly), updated independently (e.g. for security advisories.) -- rgs, maintainer of the perl and perl-CGI packages for Mandrakelinux
