Re: Larry's Apocalypse 1

I don't think that extreme positions ("minimalist!"  "bloater!")
helps here.  I think the important question to ask about any given
feature is: what will it let me do?  Features with no good answer to
this question obviously have no place in core.  Attempting to align
with one or another philosophical camp before pragmatically evaluating
the benefits of something seems a waste of everyone's time.
