I kinda hope they don't go down that path: the over-the-top, kitchen-sink-ness absurdity is what I love about Emacs. I've only been using it for a few years, so I'm still stumbling down crazy rabbit-holes (more like, giant caverns) of functionality and tools that I never knew were there - and can't believe that they'd bundle in by default. Sure I'll probably never need most of the stuff - but it make me happy to know it's there... and is great fun to explore: especially if you're on an 18 hour flight with no wifi!
