The Eclipse build currently fails if org.eclipse.update.* is removed, even though these components are no longer required by the SDK. These should be fixed so we can eventually remove update entirely from the build.

I'm not sure if you are including update.configurator in this, but that is re-exported by org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility, there are likely several bundles that are using it through that re-export. org.eclipse.pde.build currently has this dependency because I missed it when removing update in a previous release.
This doesn't include removing update.configurator. I remember there were non-trivial dependencies on it that made it difficult to remove. I also looked into removing org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility but I think PDE might be the only remaining dependency. If that dependency can be removed with trivial effort it would be worthwhile.
