Please include pagination of nodes in the next release of Drupal.

Please include pagination of nodes in the next release of Drupal. Or is this possible? I think this is a very basic feature which should be implemented. I have read posts where people are turned off by the lack of this feature.

Although there is currently a pagination module made for 4.6, it has a creative commons license, so development is a bit iffy. It has also the following issues:

It needs Full HTML, thus regular users can't use it (Using Full HTML is a security issue right? Feel free to correct me.)
It's not compatible with printer friendly pages or the print module. Usually, pagination and printer friendly pages go hand in hand.

For reference, and other issues, see this thread "Drupal for Formal Articles:"
