I only mean Linux filesystems which can be used for installing Linux,
whether they are or can be used for /boot, /, or just /home, not such
optional ones like vfat (dosfstools) or ntfs. Those vfat or ntfs
partitions can easily be formatted and/or mounted after the
installation. Their packages indeed belong into [extra].

I'm not sure if this list is complete, but these are the ones which
come to my mind:
ext2
ext3
ext4
reiserfs
reiser4
btrfs
nilfs
jfs
xfs
nfs

So those packages are affected:
e2fsprogs
reiserfsprogs
btrfs-progs(-unstable)
nilfs-utils
jfsutils
xfsprogs
nfs-utils

Most of these packages are already in [core] anyway. And those tools are
not the biggest ones. So [core] won't become a monster if they would
be moved into it.

But all of them should be removed from (base).
