It's true any changes are discussed before being implemented. But that doesn't mean we aren't open to ideas... Many of the submods contribute to CORE itself, usually in part. We focus on the big picture, submods are usually beefing up a specific area (and usually tend to overdo things a wee bit, if only just by focusing on that specific area). Just ask cegorach with his submod - a lot of his stuff did end up within CORE itself, just not all of it. That doesn't mean his input and his efforts aren't appreciated, quite the opposite in fact...
