   I'd like to see a feature for duplicating posts or sites or whatever more like this plugin offers:
   https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/

   Thanks for listening :-)

   Ther are plugins for that. It's a plugin added to wordpress.com, which still hasn't shown enough use to justify it being added to core. Nothing wrong with a plugin :)

   If it was an integrated feature we wouldn't be forced to check Plugin-Compatibility and development. However, I think it would be nice, but I can live with a Plugin or even by using my bare hands.. :-)

   The problem with it being in core is that then someone has to 'own' it and ensure that nothing breaks when we make core changes. If there's no one who wants to own it, then it's more risky to put it in core than leave it as a plugin that can be fixed and iterated faster. Basically there's absolutely no promise that being in core is a silver bullet to ensure that a feature will always work as expected.

   Also keep in mind that we try not to put things into core that the majority of users won't use.

   I asked about this for widgets. Fair enough answer, I certainly wasn't aware of the "ownership" issue with the core, but it makes sense. Thanks!
