That's 'cos there are severla things in CMFDefault which probably belong in 
CMFCore. CMFTopic should probably be in there, DCWorfklow should definitely be 
in there. The rest should either be merged into CMFDefault or not ship in the 
default CMF package. I think that alone would clear up a lot of confusion about 
what is and isn't CMF. I think things like Workspaces, Wiki, Tracker and 
Collector could also do with loosing their CMF Prefix. It makes them sound liek 
they're part of CMF core, wheras they feel more like Plone/MMManager/etc 
equivalents to me.

Yeah, this is a very good idea. It would also make sure that _all_ thye 
necessary framework was in CMFCore, and would remove the need to for confusing 
unpack-then-copy-subfolders-to-Products-directory which trips up so many new users.
