Comment (by jkudish):
hmm, these are some interesting points.
my 2 cents:
''The trouble with Akismet as it is now is that it doesn't do anything
without an API key, so it's just a wrapper for a paid service. Are these
types of plugins welcome now?''
I definitely think it still has it's place, as it always has in the
plugins directory (it's always required an API key I believe)
''Let's say they are. Now, is it fair to bundle such a plugin in WP
Core?''
No. Since it isn't a fully free plugin, I think it would be misleading to
have it in core
