We can always make an exception for the [core] packages, especially if the makedepends have other (make)depends in extra/community. If we do something about it, we need to decide if the [core] repo can have makedepends in [community] or just in [extra]. If we move packages from community to core/extra, we need to be sure that it will have a maintainer (like the maintainer of the packages which makedepends on it, for example). It wouldn't make sense to move packages currently maintained by a TU in community to another repo where it will remain orphaned.
