What will happen to the default distribution and the bundled libraries?<br>

Is the plan to split it into core and extra? I'm concerned that if we<br>
follow that route, we would lose the ability to rely on pretty useful<br>
functionality available out of the box. For example, today it's very<br>
convenient that I can write an escript which:<br>
* interacts with the network (http, ssh, snmp, etc.)<br>
* compiles sources for various languages<br>
* creates or extracts tarballs or zip archives<br>
* inspects a (remote) node<br>
