I have no objection to catering to people who have already asked for
the installation of a package that is now :core. But one that wasnʼt
installed explicitly (ie itʼs only there because Emacs now ships it)
shouldnʼt be upgraded.
I think I don't fully understand.

Maybe you can answer this: if a user is setting up Emacs 28 in company
laptop machines regularly and does M-x package-install RET eglot RET there,
or has a script with (package-install 'eglot), should or shouldn't this
user, in your opinion, be allowed to do exactly the same, with the same
predictable results (in this case getting the latest Eglot), when she starts
doing the same in Emacs 29, which now contains Eglot as a built-in?

I think Robert asked whether 'M-x package-menu-mark-upgrades' would mark Eglot for upgrade even if the user never marked it for upgrade explicitly before (e.g. with 'M-x package-install').
