Decoupling of layout definitions

[apiuser]

Feature request from EliasZ, posted on GitHub Oct 20, 2014

With the whole new spirit of loosely coupling the Magento 2 code base, maybe a good look can be taken at the layout definitions and its dependencies. For example, opening Magento/Backend/view/adminhtml/layout/default.xml reveals the following definitions which can be moved:

<link src="Magento_Rule::rules.js"/> <!--Magento_Rule can take care of this--> 

The following can be moved to Magento_RequireJS:

    <link src="requirejs/require.js"/>
    <link src="mage/requirejs/resolver.js"/>
</head>
[...]
<block name="require.js" class="Magento\Backend\Block\Page\RequireJs" template="Magento_Backend::page/js/require_js.phtml" />
[...]
<referenceContainer name="after.body.start">
    <block class="Magento\RequireJs\Block\Html\Head\Config" name="requirejs-config"/>

More in after.body.start:

<block class="Magento\Translation\Block\Js" name="translate" template="Magento_Translation::translate.phtml"/> <!--Magento_Translation can take care of this-->

And so forth.
