Hello all and thank your for your efforts!

I order to make Drupal the fastest CMS please give us the possibility to disable almost everything (for example file api, field api etc). I really think that for some projects I need very few modules (menu, block, and probably locale and an wysiwyg editor...) and even those modules should have a light version and a normal one (or even a full version).

Why not make such light version for system modules and when someone needs more - may activate more! In my opinion each core module should have a light version (or even a very light version) and few submodules with more functions, hooks, api....

I want Drupal to become the fastest CMS on the world! Of course anyone should be able to activate more hooks etc.... but we should have also a very light solution. Don't you agree with me?

Thank you for your time!

The Drupal 8 Initiatives, I guess most importantly http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core/clean-up, are all about decoupling the various systems of Drupal. One of the benefits of this clean-up is picking and choosing more self-contained features. On example of this is the new language.module that is already in Drupal 8. It enables to use a subset of the locale.module features without the entire overhead. Such things should be discussed case-by-case, I don't think such a general issue makes sense. That said, I do not want to discourage your enthusiasm. I encourage you to get involved with the Drupal 8 development!
