You violently don't want to understand?

When a core module moves, building a package will break - Packagers will have
to change their packages - mission accomplished.

As it's impossible to know which modules will move, it's silly anticipatory
obedience to demand such modules to be added now. 

Worse, such demands are harmful, because a formerly needed dependency may
vanish with upstreams updates, a situation which is easy to miss for
maintainers.

Finally, how do you want to continue with this review? You to continue blocking
this review?
