Comment (by galbaras):

 Since Site Health is a new thing, why not make it cover only Core, while
 providing ways for plugins and themes to add requirements.

 Also, requirements should have different levels of importance, so that
 Site Health will report them differently if they're just a bit better vs.
 if they're critical.

 As for the official PHP module list, I recently reviewed it and got
 feedback from my hosting provider and it really needs to be reviewed. It
 may be a good idea to separate the recommendations into Core vs. "popular
 plugins" and absolute requirements (i.e. no fallback) vs. good to have
 (i.e. just preferred) to make things clear.

 Standardisation is a great thing. It can save lots of people lots of time
 and problems. Site Health is a good vehicle to drive it, so let's ride
 that wave.
