the "minimal core" concept is usually part of a bundle that includes an
approval process -- such as what happens to get a CPAN module into the
PPMs that come with ActiveState (unless I'm wrong about that)

In case all we're looking for is a good name for "What Is Around The Core,
But Still Within The Rind" I propose we continue drawing terms from the
world of fruit and call the Greater Core Package "pulp."
