 Dear jorbin!

 I sincerely appreciate having the end user in mind, when one designs a
 core framework. But on the other hand I would even more be grateful to
 developers who might give the publishers, who use the software on a daily
 basis the chance to not use so called user experience enhancements from
 the start without having to alter code or to install a plugin to not to.

 Furthermore I would develop a plugin for those users, who really want to
 use Smileys, Emojis and whatever else they would want to implement. The
 goal is to slim down and not to bloat. Every unneccessary byte is a byte
 too much, especially if i have to install about 30 plugins to make my
 wordpress run in desired ways.

 The core is called core, because it delivers the CORE functionality. And
 not so many extras. Every peace of not utterly neccessary code for a core
 functionality of a cms / blog system is one peace to many!

 It would make not only my life a lot easier, if I didn't have to check my
 core system for new stuff, that I manually have to filter out with every
 update that wordpress gives me. - this does not only go for the emojis,
 but also for xmlrpc, wlwmanifest.xml and all the other "functions" that
 perhaps 1% of the hardcore users might use at best. Most of the users I
 know, don't even know these functions exist and are actually surprised,
 when I tell them.

 What you are telling me just reminded me to a joke where one guy asks an
 other: "gee, man, why are you clapping in your hands all the time?" - "to
 scare away the elefants!" "but there ain't no elefants here!" "you see,
 it's working!"
