To give just 3 packages that don't really belong in the core, but would potentially be used by many 3rd party applications: - kdelibs - SDL - Gecko There are others. There are families of applications which share core libraries, and while it makes no sense to include the library in a platform where none of those applications are present, it makes a lot of sense not to ship the library bundled, because chances are if you're installing one of the family, you'll install others.
