I agree with your description of what needs to be done. However, I think
it is useful to start applying these removal scripts to a 'core' image
right away. The script that moves core -> base will be small, and it is
quite feasible to keep it as a single manual script for the coming time.
By the time that gets unfeasible, we'll have a largish script containing
a lot of stuff we learnt about how to load a number of unrelated
packages. This will provide valuable input to what is needed in the area
of dependency mechanisms, so that when refactoring the script, we'll
land at a) practical dependencies, and b) have a mini-package that
brings core->base ideally just by listing dependencies).

Summary: removal/replacement pairs that have gotten the necessary
reviews are immediately applied to the core/base split, by removing the
package from 'core' and doing an appropriate update of the (monolithic)
core->base script.
