I'm ok with splitting out racket-minimal and racket, which is a common
convention these days... even Racket's download page provides "Racket"
and "Minimal Racket":

https://download.racket-lang.org/

I'd take the least effort route to doing that though... we aren't ready
to break each of the Racket "core" packages into their own packages and
I don't think that would need to hold this back.
