Martin wanted more than a proposal - he wanted merge proposals (fair enough!) - so I've put up a webpage where people can nominate to do exactly that. See <a href="http://bazaar-vcs.org/Roadmap/BatteriesIncluded" target="_blank">http://bazaar-vcs.org/Roadmap/BatteriesIncluded</a>. I've nominated myself for 4 of them, but feel free to put your name in instead of mine if you own a plugin or are simply keen to ensure it happens. :-) If there are additional plugins we ought to bundle, please consider adding them. Likewise, if you have concerns about those proposed, please note that in the comments section on that page. Thanks, Ian C. </blockquote></div> 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.
