bind-key.el would come with it, since it's a companion library. It provides a
convenience wrapper around both `define-key' and `kbd'. I suppose we ought to
discuss that separation if there are questions.

diminish.el is only loaded if available, although the fact that it's not in
core would indeed mean moving that support out of use-package and into an
external add-on. Fortunately, the use-package architecture makes this easy to
do.

I'd rather not rename to package-config, since it's not related to package.el,
and a strong association by name could get confusing.

Sure, though I'd be surprised if that were any code they shared.
