Comment (by johnpbloch):

 I think it would be very much worth considering having a custom installer
 written specifically for core and released by WordPress (e.g. `wordpress
 /wordpress-core-installer`). This would get around the need to shoehorn
 core into the `wordpress-plugin` package type while still allowing us to
 set it as a `wordpress-core` type to get it into a custom directory other
 than `vendor/wordpress/wordpress`. This would let us control the install
 process as much as we need to. Also, should installation options ever
 change in the future (I don't know how, but I don't pretend to know how
 things will change years down the road), we could adapt as needed by just
 bumping the installer's version.

 And of course, if someone wants to use WordPress as the web root package,
 thus sacrificing the ability to upgrade core with Composer, there is
 always the `composer create-project wordpress/wordpress` command.
