 > It’s important to position connectors as not being exclusively for AI.

 I agree. Do you want to open a ticket to discuss how best to do that or do
 you think this might be better as a make/core discussion?

 > Given Akismet is bundled by default, it should show up if the file is
 present for 7.0.

 How does that help users? If anything it's going to create confusion since
 they may think that by having entered the key on the connectors screen
 they have activated akismet. Aditionally, the connectors screen should be
 about reusable connections. Besides akismet, which plugins currently make
 use of this key? Installation and activation are different intents and
 should be treated differently.
