Remove Bookmarks flag from module [#1506426]

The bookmarks flag is a great learning tool for figuring out what Flag does and how to configure a view with Flag module. If you don't want the flag, you can easily delete it after installation.

Yes it is a good way to learn how Flag works, but it is cluttering the interface - I think that something you should not want to be installed, should not be installed from the beginning.

I think the bookmarks flag should be a separate module, and only activated if you want to use it. If I have the time I do a patch for that later this week.

I would consider it the same thing as the standard profile of Drupal including article and page content types. Speaking from the point of view of the maintainer, increasing the learnability of the module improves user experience and speeds learning (thus reducing support requests).

Over in the Webform queue, we added an option that would disable the creation of the "Webform" content type if desired via a hidden variable (mostly for the purpose of install profiles). I'd be willing to do the same thing for Flag, effectively not changing the behavior for 99% of users and letting users who don't want it on install to skip it via a hidden variable. See #1263584: Option to *not* create the default Webform content type.
