[jtpio]

Do we need the dependency on jupyterlite-core, if there is no JupyterLite addon? (similar to JupyterLab extension which which usually don't have a dependency on jupyterlab)

[bollwyvl]

Welp... in theory that would work, but in practice (as there are no tests here) we're basically punting it to the site owner, or worse, a site user, to test whether a given configuration works. Indeed, lab at least has jupyter labextension list which would make it abundantly clear when things aren't going to work.

We can't really make a package more core than jupyterlite-core on which to advertise the liteserverextension/kernel API.

We could make another jupyterlite/matrix or something that tried to build demo sites of lots of extensions against lots of versions... but this would be a pretty unsatisfying site to visit, given the amount of issues with e.g. serviceworker registration.
