Re^3: Recap: The Future of Perl 5

Agreed, but it's not core Perl

I think it would aid clarity to your arguments immensely if you could choose a different word for what you want. The Perl community has been using "core" to mean precisely modules which are bundled with the perl distro since last millennium (and I know you know this too). It's confusing if you start to use it to mean something else.

In fairness, the built-in Perl functions are associated with the package CORE:: too, so his terminology makes sense in that respect.
