Yes. This provides a mechanism for creating and maintaining a core image,
and for verifying on an ongoing basis that the full image built from core
matches a full image that is tracking the trunk update stream. At image
release time, two should be essentially the same.  Meanwhile the full
trunk image remains in the update stream so that all developers can see
the impact of their changes on all packages.
