Well, there is money around to sponsor development, and unless that is
going to be restricted to core only projects, just giving some
sponsorship involves making a choice.
Comparisons have been made with perl and CPAN, but modules are adopted
into the perl core distribution from time to time.
Frankly, people want advice about what is good from people who know.
Just saying "Oh, you're all too cute! I can't possibly decide!" might
help to keep a fragile peace, but I doubt it does anyone much good in
the long run. I'd rather trust the core developers than someone else
with possibly more of an axe to grind.
