Taking the car analogy further, I would not like to be forced to buy an iPod because my new car happens to ship with an iPod adapter! :) The car would be perfectly operational without the iPod, just like Pidgin would be perfectly operational without the demo perl scripts. Having said that, I agree this could be handled by facets.
