Comment (by gboone):

 New to these forums as I am, I want to drop in and restart this
 conversation. I agree with those saying WordPress Core is most certainly a
 dependency and any composer.json should declare it as such. I'm not sure
 how you would create a WordPress-powered site without WordPress.

 > My worry is that this composer.json patch being put forward will make it
 into core, and then people like myself will have to resort to a raft of
 horrendous kludges and hacks to undo what's in the core composer.json.

 Agree 100%, composer is a brilliant tool, and this is a huge opportunity
 for WordPress, we need to do it right.

 > Let's see what happens in the wider ecosystem…before making a decision.

 Also agree that we don't want to move in the opposite direction of other
 platforms, but WordPress is big enough now, and being used on large enough
 scales that we could be the project that sets those standards rather than
 +1s them. Though I don't have a patch, yet, I hope we're still thinking
 about this.
