[oe] defining FEATURE_PACKAGES_* in core-image.bbclass vs image.bbclass

i was perusing core-image.bbclass and noticed that the alleged list
of "Available IMAGE_FEATURES" didn't mention "splash" so i was going
to submit a simple patch to add a line for it, before i noticed
something that puzzled me.
i know there are some features that don't correspond to packagegroup
names, and here's one from core-image.bbclass:
FEATURE_PACKAGES_hwcodecs = "${MACHINE_HWCODECS}"
so that feature is clearly a "core image" feature. (i know the
meta-intel layer uses this feature.)
then i noticed that the "splash" feature is defined, not in
core-image.bbclass, but in the more basic image.bbclass, as is
package-management:
FEATURE_PACKAGES_package-management = "${ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE}"
SPLASH ?= "psplash"
FEATURE_PACKAGES_splash = "${SPLASH}"
so is there some rationale for deciding which FEATURE_PACKAGES
settings are defined in core-image, while others are defined in
image?
i'll still add a line for splash to core-image.bbclass.
