Investigate if we need to have drupal/core as an explicit dependency

Created on 12 February 2025, 10 days ago

Problem/Motivation

Having the core version in both composer.json as well as the info file is not something I see done on all projects.
This is something I see in about ~50% of the contrib modules installed on my projects that I'm currently working on.

Do we need it?

Steps to reproduce

Open composer.json, see the dependency

Proposed resolution

Remove it, to make updates easier.

Readin the discussion there, it is suggested to keep both, however it would be good to add a test to keep them in sync.
