It still might be a good idea to enumerate them.  Given the ZDP, it  
isn't as clear to me as it was in the past.

I didn't  allude to this intentionally. :)

We haven't defined what "core" means.  I think we need to and, imo,
if there is a Zope 3 core, I hope it will be small.

Yes.  I think we've reached an age where we need to be a lot more  
selective and conservative.

I think the Fishbowl process is a good staring point. Perhaps  
projects can define what they mean by core and PMCs, if we decode to  
go through with them, could decide whether something can be added.
