I kind of agree with you, but without completely describing these core
packages, it is kind of hard to know what to agree to. Imho it is not
only "core-ness", but also package complexity that should be taken into
account (and upstream QA, but you mentioned this in your other mail).
But as you wrote their, it mostly boils down to a maintainer decision
and cannot easily be written into a Policy, but more into a guideline
for maintainers to help them decide.
