Business of Drupal

I'd like to see Pittsburgh become known for having Drupal courses in higher education, and this excellent article may help convince educators of the value of Drupal: The Future of Drupal In Professional Open Source.

During drupalcon several of the business tracks returned to the same notion of maintaining a list of qualified contriuted modules.
So dear "I drupal for dollars" crowd...
The classics are obviously
1. cck
2. views
3. image field
4. imagecache
And then as requirements start to rise
5. og
6. workflow
7. relativity
8. voting-api (plus most frontends work fine)

So that was easy... but now what about the exotics? What do YOU always include in your projects and what should enter this "absolutly essential module list?"
best regards
