I think it makes sense to define a “stable core set” for #rails. The parts, where it is highly unlikely for DHH to fuck it up (due to the business interests of Microsoft and Shopify):
* Railties/ActionPack/ActionView
* ActiveRecord
* ActiveJob
* ActionMailer

Avoid ActionCable, ActionMailbox, ActionText, ActiveStorage, Hotwire. I’m not sure what to recommend regarding asset pipeline yet…
I think in the The Rails 8 Way, they will all be replaced with alternative gems…

(Inspired by @b4a7426b) 

 @6e65d09c @b4a7426b ActiveStorage is awesome. So is Hotwire. It's exactly the sane defaults that we all came to Rails for at version 1, but updated for 2023. You can still swap out and disable whatever you want, so what's the problem?
