Comment(by GuruXL):

 @nacin - I am not saying add the fields as default. I am saying add the
 hooks so if you wanted to customize the registration process it would be
 easier than hacking a core .php file which could change when you upgrade.

 Essentially, I am trying to rely less on plugins and more on hooks and
 filters so you can have a more consistent functionality across the board.
 While agree a plugin fits the bill, you often have to rely on the will of
 a developer who would have to continually maintain the plugin and update
 as the hooks and filters changed and such.

 We have a lot of out-dated plugins that are no longer supported by their
 authors.

 A core hook and filter solutions would be better and more consistent
 across multiple WP releases in the future.
