Again, I don't see any point to doing that. You don't buy anything and you add a hassle when you decide that something should move from misc to core.There are two separate modules here: misc and core. misc is for stuffthat doesn't fit anywhere else (e.g. ParticleRefiner) and can be very open, even today. Other stuff that is relied upon by others will move from the kernel into core (e.g. nonbonded lists). But that won't happen today - it needs to wait for the dependent projects to be updated. By its very nature, it should also be less open than misc.
Further, that doesn't really buy us anything over the current mess other than slightly faster compilation times and creates a great deal of work.
