Uri - I agree with your point in general as well, but, I think it's
arguable whether to treat this as a *feature* that isn't needed in the core. I
can say, with certainty, that a majority (if not all) of production deployments
would be benefitted from this capability. Having this in the core (even in its
simplest form) already provides a great benefit to them, in terms of simplicity
in configuration and use. Having to deploy a plugin and maintain it's
configuration separately only makes it more complicated and less easy to use
for general operations.
Fwiw, we also have a number of similar features (which could have all been
done using plugins too) in the core that are used extensively by operations and
plugin developers alike (e.g @ headers).
