i'd like to see a migration process where by contribs that turn out to be "core" make it to the core. Think about newbies that are used to installing one thing (a language) and getting quite a bit of obviously useful stuff. The more central (the more other contribs dependent on it) the higher the priority on reviewing it and getting it into the core.
