Folks,

lift-core is a 'meta' project that can be added as a dependency to a 
Lift project to pull in all the Lift modules. This serves as a singular 
configuration point in a Lift based application.

However, since lift-core downloads all the Lift modules (irrespective of 
whether the project needs it), adding this as the dependency slow  down 
things for a standard project that doesn't need some additional modules.

In a sense, we have moved quite a bit from the initial purpose of having 
single dependency on this 'meta' project in a Lift application.

Further, the name is a misnomer now!

The question, therefore is:
Should we consider deprecating this? If not, we need to document when it 
should be preferred and when not. If yes, what should be the time frame 
for making the move?

With Lift 2.0 coming up, now might be a good time to make a decision. 
Thoughts?

Cheers, Indrajit

NB: An open question to anybody in the Lift: Who among you are actually 
using lift-core in you project and what is the level of impact you 
foresee in case you have to move on to have an alternative approach.
