Being required for the bootstrap is one criterion, the other is the core
reports that people expect. The reports we could eventually off load by
themselves but for now I'm happy keeping the standard reports in the
core for now.

Most of the plugins will but a handful of them are required for the
bootstrap and it's not worth jumping through fire blazened hoops to
separate them all at this point simply for the sake of separating them
all.
