Is there a reason they couldn't be bundled into a separate package,
and either put in contrib/ or (my preference) put on gforge or
whatever?  The less-is-more approach in the default source seems to
me to be a good thing.  I'm not convinced that packaged systems
should ship that way -- maybe these should be included in desktop
systems -- but enabled-by-default for many of these things seems to
me to be too dangerous.
