My workflow is to make every project one monolithic package until the need
to do otherwise is presented (like right now!). I used to carefully think
about theoretical use case scenarios and split projects up along those
lines, but management (especially with the tooling available at that time)
seemed to explode exponentially, so I went monolithic. After several years
of experience, this is the first time someone expressed a pain point (that I
remember anyway)! This seems to validate the current approach and my
suspicion that preemptively creating multiple packages is akin to premature
optimization.

Yes! I will happily integrate. The tests may need to be promoted to a
package if they are currently in a tag, but 'Core' without and 'Tests' with
seems appropriate given your issue. I don't have a strong opinion on the
default but my guess is to leave it as is (i.e. all packages) because
newbies will get the tests (i.e. documentation) and advanced users will know
enough to customize.
