No, gnome-core is a meta-package that's *not* supposed to be a minimal selection of components but one that matches what GNOME upstream defines as "GNOME Core Applications". If you want to have a meta-package that's what you define as minimal then feel free to create one! gnome-core is not it. (Also if you don't want to follow the gnome definition then maybe you're also better of not using the gnome trademark in the name of your meta-package either.)

No, because gdm3 is really a core component and needs to be part of even a minimal gnome installation. For example gnome-shell depends on gdm3 to work correctly. Could something not including gnome-shell be called GNOME? I wouldn't. (But in the end it would be up to gnome upstream to enforce their trademark, so don't bother with what I think on the matter.)
