I think openstack community provides a flat project market place for infrastructure is good enough:
all projects are just some "goods" in the market place, let the cloud operators to select projects from the project market place for his own infrastructure. We don't have to mark a project a core project or not, only need to tag attribute of a project, for example how mature it is, how many "like" they have, what the cloud operator said for the project. etc. All flat, just let people make decision by themselves, they are not idiot, they have wisdom on building infrastructure. Not all people need a package: you bought a package of ice-cream, but not all you will like it, If they want package, distribution provider can help them to define and customize a package, if you want customization, you will decide which ball of cream you want, isn't it? openstack is "OPEN" stack.

Because then you have to define what "core" means, and how you get to be "core", which is like the old system of integrated and incubated projects. I agree that a "core" set of projects is more understandable at first, probably most for an outsider. But it gets confusing from a governance perspective within the community. And if you want to run just containers with Kubernetes and you want to use Keystone and Cinder with it, you don't need Nova, so is Nova "core" or not? This is probably where the constellations idea comes in [1]. At the end of the day it's all OpenStack to me if it's hosted on OpenStack infra, but I'm not the guy making budget decisions at a company determining what to invest in. I think Doug has tried to explain that perspective a bit elsewhere in this thread, and it sounds like that's the key issue, the outside perspective from people making budget decisions.
