Rather than splitting "core packages" from "community packages", what if we used the package ring system? [1] We could establish a way for the Racket community to bless packages with "ring zero" status, then provide a --catalog argument to Scribble to lookup ring information in when deciding how to style package documentation. The docs would remain unified, we'd have a centralized place to curate packages, and there's no artificial barrier that prevents user-contributed packages from living alongside main-distribution packages.
