There's no advantage to having something "in the core". The reason X11 hasn't become X12 is because X11 adapts wonderfully to new extensions as they come and go. You make fun of the bitwise and/or/not operations now, but we'll be making fun of the current state of graphics in another decade.

Why do we want today's cutting edge (tomorrow's crap) "in the core"?
