Comment (by Rarst):

 Let me rehash current state of ticket's goals as I see them.

 From the position of WordPress developer, considering making use of
 Composer workflow, I fully expect it to keep up with any default/non-
 default/esoteric/whatever configuration that core itself can.

 From the position of PHP developer, making use of WordPress as Composer
 package, I fully expect it to work in line with normal Composer mechanics
 without artificial restrictions and non-standard workarounds.

 I see `composer.json` configuration mandating `project`-type install as
 inadequate to both goals.

 I see current out-of-core progress on core installer and core package as
 adequate to both goals.

 Given heavy opposition to including installer configuration into core,
 without offering adequate replacement at this time, I would prefer this
 ticket go back to sleep until such replacement can be offered or arguments
 against installer approach reconciled.
