I think we should have a text-mode browser in core, personaly I vote for
elinks. The only thing I missed with elinks was the -dump feature that
was available only in lynx. The recent elinks has this feature so I
think elinks is the best from these now.

Nope, usermode contains not only authentication helpers, but also
usermount and other things that are of course missing in the other
mentioned packages. Many programs are dependent on userhelper now so
it's quite impossible to replace it by anything else at the moment.

No objections against dropping this from core.

This is very useful thing that should be in core. I don't see any
substitute for it in field of text-mode file managers and it has some
unique features such as rpm vfs that helps many people.
