Comment:

 Who makes the decisions on these things? Is there a webpage that describes
 how WordPress core decisions are made? Do the comments of a disgruntled
 founder 13 years ago override common sense and the preferences of the
 masses? I hereby submit a request that an official vote take place on the
 fate of forcing Hello Dolly onto new WordPress installs.

 It should also be noted that forcing Akismet on hundreds of millions of
 sites is unethical given that the founder's company makes money off of it.
