Are we really sure that this strategy is realistic? I mean, if one core
module needs at some point, for some remote feature, to depend on the chart
macro, does that automatically make the chart macro core? IMO no, otherwise
we end up saying that all dependencies of core modules are core as well
(could even argue the need to control the sources of all those dependencies
as well), which would be obviously bad. This question probably leads back
to the definition of core and what it implies.
