I have the same question.

My understanding is that feature-branches are now the canonical way to 
work on things, and core-updates has become just another kind of 
feature-branch for landing groups of large changes that don't really fit 
anywhere; the difference being that it's now more ephemeral and "as 
needed" instead of the default for large changes.

Do I have that right?

I guess we need to update the manual?
