Linq (like generics) started out as a separate project. However, Linq (again like generics) is built in to c#.
Note, that's different to being a namespace in the .Net framework; generics and Linq are part of the core language syntax. I suspect everything else is game for being pluggable. (Unlike the core c# language which OSS can't, unfortunately, affect.)

What I'm looking for is justification to designate NHibernate Spatial as a separate project. Consider the other NHibernate Contrib projects: NHibernate Linq - moved into NH core! With the exception of NHibernate Linq, each one of these contrib projects are easily separable from NHibernate and provide an ancillary ability. That isn't the case for Linq, and the new Linq provider is in the core now! -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/nhibernate-development/subscribe?hl=en
