It will work for anyone who has working _environment_ (yes, IMHO missing
php-session is flawned env). People are not unerring and I doubt anyone
removes all his packages in order to track every single R. And I'm sure
noone reads sources or diff against previous version to track changes.

Separating core modules without any reason creates only another Point Of
Failure. That's an error in terms of engineering.

That's the way it is done for many packages I've seen.
