I know how much you care about this one issue, but I think changing the
mechanics of how Core is distributed for one library is going overboard.
(there's no such thing as not-on-CD core packages.)

Realistically, there's plenty of stuff we ship that sane third-party
developers shouldn't be building against. We should have some sort
of defined developer platform (i.e., this is what you *should* use.)
That would help more than playing with what is packaged where.
