There are a potentially infinite number of types/classes/modules which
can be considered as essential if they are required for consistency in
more than one other module.

What percentage of modules really needs mxDateTime? The answer is of
course 0% or 100% depending on your point of view. The cup is too full
for me and too empty for you.

If the leadership gives way on one then it sets a precedent for others.
