I am also concerned by the broad scope of ZedStore, and I tend to
agree that it will be difficult to maintain in core. At the same time,
I think that Andres and Robert are probably right about the difficulty
of maintaining it outside of core -- that would be difficult to
impossible as a practical matter.

Unfortunately, you're both right. I don't know where that leaves us.
