No, I was throwing thoughts out on a serious note. I think I seen some 
where in someones thread about other plugins and I just added my 
thoughts on Akismet in here. I should have started a new thread 
discussion on "it". My bad.

I can agree with you on this. That's kind of why I threw out the idea on 
Spam Karma 2 + Akismet too. Rather then just having Akismet itself, why 
not prepackage a "two in one" deal or something? Most users are going to 
want and need an anti-spam plugin anyway! And most I'm sure grab all 
three main anti-spam plugins anyway. And most I'm sure also do that Spam 
Karma + Akismet as well. I know I do it. I know Viper007Bond does it 
too. That's where I got it from before. I just threw out the whole idea 
for Akismet being added to the core, to make it simpler. Rather than 
having those plugins in the plugin folder, make it easier by slapping it 
in core... I don't see it as self promotion per se, I see it as a FREE 
anti-spam plugin that comes with WordPress regardless of where it is in 
the folder structure or whatever else.
