I think something like this is helpful, because it can be the first
place of looking for utilities.  Since a new module hierarchy has
been proposed recently, we could extract non-mandatory modules from
the core and reorganize them into a separate package.

This is important, I think.  The frequency of the core release seems
to be very slow.  Module packages can be released more frequently.
