DrupalCon Baltimore 2017: Less is More - What Modules, Features, or APIs Should We Cut From Core?

This talk addresses the challenges of maintaining unmaintained modules and subsystems in Drupal core. The speaker discusses the implications of potentially removing these components by the time Drupal 9 is released and evaluates which modules, if any, are essential and should be revived. They also reflect on lessons learned from the Drupal 8 release regarding maintainability and consider whether the core might benefit from releasing certain modules. This session encourages a thoughtful dialogue on the future of Drupal functionality and its impact on developers.
