1) scripts exist that do things blender cant but its not a rationale for 
inclusion by its self.
2) be spesific, what can your scripts do that Blender cant with the 
built in tools. maybe we were un-aware and the script should be added 
back in.
3) I assumed you would have submitted a patch or mailed the list for any 
important update. its so close to release and you havnt notified anyone 
about your changes.
4) nobody is contesting the author of scripts.
