Renaming LWP::Simple is an interesting idea, but I'm notoriously bad at naming things, so I won't do anything in that direction.

If I look at how big the Perl5 core got and the amount of problems that there are with unmaintained-yet-core modules and the size of a "minimal" Perl5 installation, I'm all for a small core, together with a painless, working, transparent way of installing new modules. Modules are what differentiates the Perl model from the PHP model - with the PHP model, you have to rely on the people in the cathedral to provide for your needs, while with Perl modules, anybody can write, distribute and install them. By moving stuff into the Perl core, you take that possibility away from people and force them into the version release lockstep.
