To clarify -- when I said that C# didn't need to be in Emacs Core, it's
not because it's not a major language (it is), but it's my opinion that
it's unlikely that a large number of people would want to use Emacs when
programming in C#.  (Because the IDEs that come bundled with the popular
C# compilers are what people are using, and it seems unlikely that many
people would want to switch away from those.)
