I'd rather prefer WP Mail like solution, instead of WordPress Newsletter plugin.

Well, I agree with all the points you have made. However the reason why Kyle and me made this post was that we wanted Automattic team to take care of the issues raised by you. For e.g. Popularity contest takes too much server load – it's probably because it is poorly coded. Same is the case with Google XML sitemaps too – even that is indeed poorly coded and wastes lots of server resources.

Apart from that these options can be just in core feature with the ability of turning them on and off, for e.g. permalinks can't be supported by all the web hosts, however, it's still present as the core feature.

WP Cache doesn't works on all servers and there may be people who find this too geeky. anyways, it's just a few clicks away to be installed.

Google XML Sitemaps – I really don't know why this isn't on WP Stand alone, but hey still not that hard to add.

I agree that the ALL IN ONE SEO plugin SHOULD BE IN THE CORE, besides having no advertisement on WP.COM, this is another, actually the "major" reason why I'm using WordPress stand alone.

Popularity Contest eats heck much of server load.

WordPress newsletter plugin – Even with this in the core, I believe people would still turn to Feedburner for their subscribers and newsletter, because it's something "recognized" as "stats" for the blog.

Related Posts – As with almost all related posts plugins, you need to add a php line to the blog, or by default it shows after the post, something tat not everyone wants. So, that could be a reason why it's not in the core.

Just sharing some of my thoughts and ideas..

I would add 'Subscribe to Comments' plugin as well.
