I disagree. - We want healthy stuff in contrib, because everything else is cruft. - We want working stuff in contrib, because users already have very hard times to find proper, working stuff. - We want to encourage people to join forces with others, because that is what the overall success of the Drupal community and the Drupal product boils down to. sun
