It's not whether they're useful, it's whether they're required. Your
proposal *requires* base packages, and for people who intend to use
pure packages, this is NOT a feature: it's a bug.
Specifically, it introduces a large number of unnecessary,
boilerplate dependencies to their package distribution strategy.
