I agree with your summary as well. As to any other "utility" functions embedded in the core (Vacuum springs to mind) I think serious consideration should be given to removing all like functionality to a separate "support" feature either GUI or command line. There seems, as always, to be great pressure toward ever increasing base functionality while reducing the code base steadily toward zero. With this in mind, retaining any "utility" functionality in the core is extremely expensive.
