I'm not sure what you mean by "the standard libraries". It wouldn't be needed to build GHC, so it wouldn't be a GHC "core lib".
Other than that, if it's in hackage then it's as standard as any other library!
There does seem to be another level of "standard-ness" than this. Specifically, it would involve the library being distributed with GHC distributions and included in the documentation at http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/. The base split is great, but I hope that it doesn't mean the standard libraries (in this sense) are being phased out, or that libraries or documentation will be made harder for Haskell newcomers to find and use. -- Chris Smith
