I believe this is the crucial question.

To satisfy the request raised on p5p, it would have to install all
the core modules.  But that would induce many accusation of bloat.

If it installs less than that, the p5p request is not fulfilled.

I see no change that would significantly improve our overall image
and thus I would stay with the current state, which at least
minimizes the surprises.
