Hi Jody,
checking the proposal, I believe the title is misleading, it seems to
suggest a classic module move from community to extension, as is... which
does not match the actual proposal.
The actual proposal is:

   - Fold the WFS output format gs-wfs, the WMS output format in gs-wms,
   hence, move these two bits in _core_
   - Fold the WPS process in gs-wps-core

About the move to cover of the WMS/WFS output formats, from a technical
point of view I'm not concerned:

   - The WFS output format will eventually break for large outputs due to
   HTTP  time outs (needs to be written on disk first, streamed back once
   complete), but the same already happens for zipped shapefiles, so nothing
   really new
   - The WMS output format now honors the rendering time outs, so it should
   be fine

I should however point out that the core of GeoServer is "maintained by the
PSC" so the rest of the PSC should be comfortable having that code in core,
and realize the associated obligation.

About the move of the WPS process to wps-core, I'm also personally not
deeply concerned, if the documentation
is very clear about the experimental extensions baked into the process (so
doc updates are needed).
I'm however noting the code moving also moves its maintainership from
"nobody" to me (the WPS module maintainer), which I'm not too fond of [1].

Since you're making the proposal, I'd like you to step up as co-maintainer
of the code you're trying to push up. For the core bits, as a PSC member,
you're taking that
responsibility automatically anyways. Please step up to co-maintain the
processes once moved in gs-wps-core.

Cheers
Andrea

[1] Due to both project and business obligations I'm responsible for way
too many modules already,
something which is too big of a onus on my shoulders, and a big project
liability in case I get sick
or decide to leave. It's something we'll have to address, possibly sooner
rather than later.
