That question is unanswerable except in the context of a specific
proposal for the amount of functionality and code involved. To take
it to extremes: if you are talking about adding 100 lines, no one will
object to putting it in core; if you are talking about adding 100000
lines, some of us will object. I suppose you are thinking of something
in between, but what?
