'mediaWiki' is an extensible object just like 'jQuery'. Not everything in the
'mediawiki' object is a module that is always available throughout the entire
load flow.

[[mw:ResourceLoader/Default modules]] is a list of modules *available* by
default in a MediaWiki install. These aren't all loaded by default (there is no
point in loading modules that are never used, there are a loot of modules).
Hence the existence dependency system.

Every module declares what it needs and the loader will make sure that
everything is loaded as fast as possible, and executing it as soon as anything
it needs is loaded as well.

'mediawiki.user' is a module (creates the mediaWiki.user object), as is
'user.options' (populates the Map in mw.user.options).

So all modules are available by default (available to load on-demand as you
need them), this doesn't mean the same as 'loaded by default'.

Marking INVALID as such, this is a misunderstanding of terminology.
