It's worth noting here that having two levels is not really going
to be new to the ecosystem; e.g. Ubuntu has had Main/Universe
for quite a while:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu

I just have one question: You're defining this split at the *runtime*
level.  Last I saw the Base working group was trying to cut down BuildRequires
(but sadly I haven't seen them fighting Requires yet - I would love
 if someone did that for Perl)

If Ring 0 packages BuildRequire Ring 1 (or further)
packages, ultimately their quality is going to be somewhat contingent
on them.  Using bundling as a differentiator though, it does seem
like there's likely a lot less pressure to require quick security
updates for BuildRequires.

Anyways, something I think is missing from here is more
details on how this "on the install media set" distinction
is maintained over time.  If it isn't separate (yum) repositories
it seems like it's going to be hard to enforce.

(Who would notice if a package in 0 started depending on a ring
 1?  Would that imply the new dependency needed another
 review pass?)
