Cons:
* Longer build times
What have I missed?
One of the main "cons", certainly w.r.t. labs, was:
* code of vastly different degrees of maturity/up-to-dateness in the same repo
I certainly wouldn't want to include a whole bunch of the current labs
providers in core, since they're either simply broken and/or
hopelessly out of date.
If I had to make a choice, I would probably lean towards removing them
and merging the rest, but there have been discussions every now and
them of people perhaps being willing to pick them up.
As regards karaf and cli: would they belong in core, or in tools or
elsewhere? They're really more downstream consumers of jclouds than
*parts* of jclouds themselves.
Big +1 on finally (whether for this release or soon after) merging
jclouds-chef in, by the way.

PS: I think getting rid of all the manual answers parts in the
releases will be a big step in the right direction of reducing the
pain level, and we should be able to do that pretty easily.
