I don't think it's very practical to talk about getting rid of contrib

Except, that is kind of the point. Why are we adding to it? Contrib (AFAICS) is all things that don't need to be in -core. That is the whole point of having extensions, is it not?



No. You keep getting this wrong. The fact that we have extensions doesn't mean that we want to throw out everything that is an extension. It's perfectly reasonable for us to maintain some ourselves, not least as part of eating out own dog food.

And I say that as someone who has created and maintains quite a few third party extensions.
