Yes it’s core by the definition we’ve used so far. The simplest definition of core is: “all extensions/modules that are bundled by default in XE”. Core doesn’t mean the minimal thing to make xwiki run (that would be just the EM). ATM core means what’s required to run XE. If we wanted to go to the minimal core, we would need to move the majority of things to contrib, including XE and have the xwiki github organization be just a repository of modules. In practices, it would means commons and rendering and almost all platform would move to contrib. I don’t think we’re ready for this and I don’t think it’s the right time for the project. I’d prefer that we go for moving out all non-bundled extensions first as was proposed.
