Well, following this logic, you have to move every package to GNU ELPA.
Nothing in emacs core needs dired, eshell, c-mode, python-mode, ...

I think something like use-package is a very important core component of
emacs. Since it allows a user to depend on a package. No matter if it is
already installed or not.

In my opinion this is a requirement when packages are shifted to ELPA.

The transition that I will do is, replacing require and load statements
in my .emacs by use-package statements. That is something that is
do-able.
