Getting the relatively stable plugins into core is a great idea both for its
own sake and because it will free up time for packagers to focus on some of
the extremely useful but currently less stable plugins.  Consider the
windows installer.  It includes

bzrtools
launchpad
netrc_credential_store
qbzr 0.11
rebase 0.5
svn 0.6.1

As discussed elsewhere, qbzr and bzr-svn might not be ready for core yet.
And yet one could safely say that bzr on windows is a tough sell without at
least one of { qbzr | bzr-gtk }.  And bzr-svn is awfully useful for
recruiting TortoiseSVN users to bzr.  So getting bzrtools and rebase into
core will give the windows packagers two less things to worry about and
therefore more time to devote to the other things which do not belong in
core but do belong in a windows package.
