+====== Core Packages ======
+===== Definition =====
+The core packages include the packages that are absolutely essential to the system’s functionality (such as the Linux Kernel, Binutils, Coreutils, GCC, etc) and any packages where upgrading to a new version has a high potential of breaking existing packages, configurations and other stuff (such as Apache, OpenSSL, PHP, Python, Perl, etc).
+In practice, it boils down to the following being classified as core packages: the kernel, toolchain, scripting language interpreters, daemons, essential libraries and essential utilities.
