- Patch #524728 by David_Rothstein, JoshuaRogers, JacobSingh et al: refactor install.php to allow Drupal to be installed from the command line.

Roll-back of #503982 which caused test failures. One day, I will learn that not even a *one word* patch is immune from causing test failures.

- Patch #413192 by catch et al: make taxonomy terms fieldable (not to be confused with taxonomy terms as fields).

- Patch #428744 by Gabor: make the main page content a real block and clean up some of the content API.

- Patch #273137 by pwolanin, David_Rothstein, chx, et al: split navigation to user and administration menu. Will require follow-up patches.

- Patch #394374 by cwgordon7, wretched sinner, et al: improved language of comment status. Usability improvement based on testing in Baltimore.

- Patch #288039 by sun, ff1, agentrickard, fgm, ultimateboy: improved usability of the aliased URL admin page.

- Patch #225450 by Crell, chx, bjaspan, catch, swentel, recidive et al: next generation database layer for Drupal 7.

- Patch #197765 by boydjd et al: renamed 'story' to 'article' -- further backed by usability testing at UoM.

#199400 by ChrisKennedy: use the SERVER_NAME as default site name, instead of the misleading 'Drupal' name

 - possible timeouts with installing/enabling lots of modules at once in core
 - enable install profiles to have more modules without fear of timeouts on install
 - bootstrap Drupal before each module load, so previously enabled modules are bootstrapped
 - let modules run their hook_requirements() (although actually calling them will be possibly fixed in another patch)
