Description
Factory Joe's Review brings up an interesting note:
Core - optional and Core - Required seems odd... why not hide the Required modules and simply list the modules configurable modules?

#1
-1(corrected to +1, see #3)From the developer side of view I don't like that idea too much, as I prefer to have a complete list of all activated modules.
I'd rather have all fieldsets collapsed by default.
#2
From a developers point of view wouldn't this be about the same thing?
SELECT name, description FROM system WHERE type = 'module' AND status = 1;+1. With you on the fieldsets collapsed by default.
#3
canen: Well, at second thought, you're right. Most important is in fact, that the page gets a little less cluttered for the regular admin. And, though hiding required core modules would not help a lot, it'd be at least an improvement into the right direction. I'm convinced to give a +1.
I created a separate issue for "collapsing the fieldsets by default". Would be really good to get it into D6, though it is "just" a feature...
#4
+1 on this. If they cant be disabled or touched in any way, why show them at all?
it is clutter.
