Actually no. corelist is a frontend for Module::CoreList, which only describes "what modules shipped with versions of perl".

Since some time, the Perl developers have decided to only include in the Perl core distribution whatever is necessary to build and install Perl and to install modules from CPAN.

You are still free to create richer Perl distributions, as for example the good folks at http://strawberryperl.com/ and https://activestate.com have done. Alternatively, you can also simply create a Task:: module that lists your favourite modules.

To expect that the Perl developers care for and maintain a module that you consider good is expecting a bit too much. CPAN is available and as you already understand, recommendations change. Hence this is why the Perl core aims to only include what is needed for/by Perl itself.

For what SawyerX aims, maybe see his keynote at Perlcon in Riga - he wants to include a Moo* class constructor/accessor builder in the core. Maybe you can lobby for your other trends du jour there.
