ISTM that such concerns should be addressed via some kind of paid support
contract (a la RHEL), and not used to drive decisions for the underlying
FLOSS project.  The existence of aggregated resources from such a support
organization would then be relevant to the "include / exclude"
discussion: presumably the support organization could fund the
maintenance of the otherwise-excluded module based on its customers'
paid-for needs.
