Arg, stupid question, what if say, someone were wanting to Review some
previously Core package, that now would want/need new Extras' dependencies?
OK, review wouldn't be much of a problem (reviewers likely could figure
that out), but building after-the-fact would be. (?)

Any hints/timetable when/if this can be fixed/resolved?  I realize this is
kind of a chicken-and-egg problem, but it's an important one.
