Things like CMI can't exist as Drupal 7 contrib modules because the require fundamental changes in how Drupal works. (Plus, we have one of those already, it's the <a href="https://drupal.org/project/features">features module</a>). We did consider at length a "don't upgrade" movement to keep sites on Drupal 7, but that wasn't going to meet all of our goals. We can't get new features into core in Drupal 7, and we wouldn't be able to improve many of the pain-points people experience with Drupal 7 today. More generally speaking, we wouldn't be moving forward. We want to be able to still move forward, but in a different direction than Drupal 8. Basically, the exact definition of a fork.
Formatting options
Basic
To post pieces of code, surround them with <code>...</code> tags. For PHP code, you can use <?php ... ?>, which will also color it based on syntax.
Web page addresses and email addresses turn into links automatically, unless the parent tag has the 'nolink' class.
Lines and paragraphs break automatically.
Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <blockquote> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <div> <p> <br> <pre> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <figure> <img> <figcaption> <hr>
