Forum should be in core

Issue Summary

Forum should be in core
Drupal is not just for geeks. Many users want this out of the box. There is NO alternative forum so far in the downloadable drupal tar/zip either as core or contrib module.

- Drupal is thousand times more more useful and attractive if its core contains forum out of the box
- Drupal with forum has made it popular - do not back stab for the sake of any reason
- There are really more important issues than this to clog future dev/works with
- What happens to those massive number of sites who upgrades to D8 from D6/D7 with fourms
- If forum is dropped why not the blog? It is poorly developed compared to wordpress, for example
- If forum is dropped why not the book or wiki? It is poorly developed compared to mediawiki
- If forum is dropped why not search? Drupal already recommends use of Solr search
