 That's not true, anybody who has used Composer to set up Core and plugins
 will tell you so. I'm also not a fan of taking a widespread package, and
 redistributing one of its core classes with modifications. It's like
 taking a 6 pack of hotdog buns and tearing the packaging apart in the shop
 because you only want 2 for dinner.

 It's clear that your understanding of how Composer is being used in
 WordPress installs, and the difference between the CLI tool, and the
 autoloader, is incomplete. I'm not going to derail this ticket any further
 in an effort to enlighten you
