While this is pretty reasonably I must note that keeping bots green is substantially more difficult if they are not core, introducing a chicken-egg factor in your theory: green bots should (or are) core, but it's complex to be green most of the time without being core. That's why I think that adding bots to the core set because you "hope they'll stay green" is not as unreasonable as it might sound. Not that I have any perfect solution for this, but perhaps the only criteria for being in the list should be whether people are actively trying to keep a bot green. At least we could accept their intentions at face value at first, and only remove them from core if they fail to keep up (which we already do).
