As it stands today the Elytron subsystem is optional until the point 
where you release a distribution that you want to secure using it.

So core contains the Elytron module and references items from the 
Elytron subsystem as capabilities.

The legacy security realms are going to be staying around for a while 
allowing either new or old to be used.

WildFly on the other hand could pull in the Elytron subsystem and 
contain default configuration for the feature packs entirely backed by 
Elytron.

So really do we have a requirement at the moment to release a 
distribution based on core?  From what I hear many other distributions 
still slim WildFly rather than add to core.
