The IDE can only use standard components, that are maintained by the lazarus developers.
Currently, there are some components that don't meet your 'standard' criteria. For example: IPro, SynEdit, and TDBF. Should we exclude them on next release? ;)
I split third party components into 2 types. First, one that's ported by us (Lazarus developers and friends), more over if the original author doesn't support the porting effort. IPro, SynEdit, TDBF, VTV, and LazReport are on this type. Second, one that's ported by the original author, both officially or unofficially. ZeosLib and Indy are on this type.
First type, IMO, allows to (or should) be included as default component if it's considered very useful. Second type, IMO, must never be included as default component, unless it turns out become the first type (for example if the author stops the development).
