Is there anything you would REMOVE at all from ClassicPress?

I think these two things go hand in hand.

I not only agree with that part, but also believe it’s the most important step to once for all do the first cut with WP. Stop this mess:

Start being something that’s not a broken copy of WP.

I remember starting an initiative to implement the Plugin Directory but I stopped after realising that the backend API structure didn’t match the original WP structure.

It’s kinda fun… back compat everywhere but then the CP Plugin Directory API is done with a new random structure, losing the whole ease of integration. Why?

As concerns what I think should be removed: comments, media library, gravatar for obvious reasons, xmlrpc, and customizer.

Here you mean separating into Core Plugins, not remove from ClassicPress. That’s fine but I would leave that list for the second step in the proposed roadmap and stick to removals for now. If the community decides that NOTHING at all has to be removed, but moved into Core Plugins instead, then that’s cool and I will focus on that step.
