As I said, it's too late for that, to be accepted as a 'core', you have to
be developed from the ground up to be a 'core' and only a 'core'. Debian
has too much baggage to be a core right now, even to redo the 'core', I
don't think would work because most people have preconceptions of what
debian is.
