We already clearly make this distinction. That was the primary
conclusion of the Incubation Update Committee:

Yes, that's the TC's reasoning behind recommending to the board that
Heat and Ceilometer be added to the "Core OpenStack Project".

And the TC sees a big distinction between this meaning of "Core
OpenStack Project" and "the set of functionality/APIs/code which must be
included in products licensed to use the OpenStack brand".

The latter meaning of "core" is not defined in or covered by the bylaws
AFAICT.
