OK to put lisp/progmodes/flymake.el in ELPA as a :core package?

[João Távora]

Hi,

The subject should summarize my question.  I've done some work in
flymake.el (bugfixes and some new features) that shouldn't have to wait
for Emacs 27, so I think this is a nice way for users in Emacs
26.1 and upcoming 26.2 to see those changes.

The only thing that's slightly putting me off is flymake.el's
requirement of lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el _after_ the `provide`
statement.  It's odd, but shouldn't be a problem, right?  I can also
remove it but that would break out-of-the-box compatibility with "old"
flymake.

So, if no-one opposes I will be commiting this in the near future:
