We could just keep the "Mylyn Task List" feature. I'm not sure Bugzilla is really needed as there are so many other popular bug trackers and there is an "Install Connectors" UI
to find them.

Mylyn isn’t just context-constraining UI, it’s also integration with the bug tracking systems, which is a feature commonly expected of an IDE. Discoverability of features is a serious problem that Eclipse ecosystem continues to struggle. While insiders would know to install Mylyn if they want this, a developer new to Eclipse would simply conclude that Eclipse lacks integration with bug tracking systems. This isn’t a hypothetical scenario. We’ve seen it unfold with other features and it hurts our competitive position.

Yeah, it’s a bit sad in a way. The Mylyn gang kindly built the CDT extension for it which encouraged us to add it in to the C++ package. But I have to admit I never use it. I hope others do.
At any rate, it might fit into that category of things that should be in the Marketplace and people can add it on later if they want it.
