I don't see that there's any cost to users of enabling more powerful formatting, and from what I'm hearing here at least a few people are using the extra formatting power. It looks like RedCloth is bundled with Tracks, so that takes care of the dependency issue. Of course, we could bundle other text processors in addition without much trouble.
