#bash

How is this intended to run? Inside packaging of a deployment artifact for end users?

I have been thinking about this for a while, I'd like to think we can make this a dependency of core-recommended and not include it in core-dev. That way it can be a post-install script, however you are right there are some base classes we would need to keep around.

With Drupal CMS the impact would be even bigger with all the contrib files. I do think this is worth exploring more. Would there ever be a need to produce a developer version (with the extra code), or is that just what you would find in Git?

And agreed @borisson_ it is about setting up good defaults for when everyone works to download Drupal (or Drupal CMS).
