I don't think that rack is bloated considering the bloat is only self-inflicted (autoload as mentioned) but Yahuda brings another point: performance. I would love to have response more performant for everyone to use.

Here are a few candidates I'd like to see moved into rack-contrib.

Adapter::Camping
Auth::OpenID

Recursive
Session::Memcache

Whilst I sort of agree, doesn't this just shift the bloat problem somewhere else?

I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and he mentioned that thought
the Rack package itself seemed to be slightly bloated by things like Basic
Auth et al. He mentioned two things I thought were interesting and I wanted
to get your feedback on it:
1. Like Merb, Rack probably could benefit from using a core and more
separation of functionality, and
2. Rack core should only include what's necessary for Rack::Lint to validate
a basic application at minimum.
Thoughts?
