I agree to some extent. 
One suggestion would be a new  section "Core Coookbook" OR "Cookbook.Core". 
This section would be(in fact "must be") maintained/updated (if required) in 
parallel with every new pmwiki release. 

Further sub-division of this group may be possible: like "Core-Suggested 
Cookbook", "Core-Recommended Cookbook", "Core-Essential Cookbook".
...just to begin with :)

This way core pmwiki distro can be compact.
