Overall this sounds good. The one thing I'm not sure about is the introduced
dichotomy between core and non-core libraries. Why not simply talk about
prerequisite libraries as those libraries others depend on ?
This reuses the technical term 'prerequisite', and doesn't overload the meaning
of 'core'. In other words, whether or not a library belongs into the 'core' (whatever
that is), and whether it is a prerequisite for another library, are two distinct and
orthogonal questions.

Thanks,
