Ralph recently mentions that he'd like some modules removed while Matt mentioned merging some back into Core.
Shall we discuss this on the ML instead of Jira? I could also see doing an uber jar (mod the mutually exclusive jars) and reorging the system with a smaller core (everything except appenders), an all-appenders module, and/or what some folks have mentioned: one module per appender (yikes!) What are all the options we should consider? Personally and for the current projects I have involved in, an uber jar with optional deps is the simplest to deal with. If I had to do an app for a light bulb, I'd think differently ;-) (Let's leave Java 9 modules out of the discussion!)
