# Objective
- Contributes to #16877
## Solution
- Initial creation of `bevy_platform_support` crate.
- Moved `bevy_utils::Instant` into new `bevy_platform_support` crate.
- Moved `portable-atomic`, `portable-atomic-util`, and
`critical-section` into new `bevy_platform_support` crate.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Showcase
Instead of needing code like this to import an `Arc`:
```rust
#[cfg(feature = "portable-atomic")]
use portable_atomic_util::Arc;
#[cfg(not(feature = "portable-atomic"))]
use alloc::sync::Arc;
```
We can now use:
```rust
use bevy_platform_support::sync::Arc;
```
This applies to many other types, but the goal is overall the same:
allowing crates to use `std`-like types without the boilerplate of
conditional compilation and platform-dependencies.
## Migration Guide
- Replace imports of `bevy_utils::Instant` with
`bevy_platform_support::time::Instant`
- Replace imports of `bevy::utils::Instant` with
`bevy::platform_support::time::Instant`
## Notes
- `bevy_platform_support` hasn't been reserved on `crates.io`
- ~~`bevy_platform_support` is not re-exported from `bevy` at this time.
It may be worthwhile exporting this crate, but I am unsure of a
reasonable name to export it under (`platform_support` may be a bit
wordy for user-facing).~~
- I've included an implementation of `Instant` which is suitable for
`no_std` platforms that are not Wasm for the sake of eliminating feature
gates around its use. It may be a controversial inclusion, so I'm happy
to remove it if required.
- There are many other items (`spin`, `bevy_utils::Sync(Unsafe)Cell`,
etc.) which should be added to this crate. I have kept the initial scope
small to demonstrate utility without making this too unwieldy.

# Objective
- Fixes#16892
## Solution
- Removed `TypeRegistryPlugin` (`Name` is now automatically registered
with a default `App`)
- Moved `TaskPoolPlugin` to `bevy_app`
- Moved `FrameCountPlugin` to `bevy_diagnostic`
- Deleted now-empty `bevy_core`
## Testing
- CI
## Migration Guide
- `TypeRegistryPlugin` no longer exists. If you can't use a default
`App` but still need `Name` registered, do so manually with
`app.register_type::<Name>()`.
- References to `TaskPoolPlugin` and associated types will need to
import it from `bevy_app` instead of `bevy_core`
- References to `FrameCountPlugin` and associated types will need to
import it from `bevy_diagnostic` instead of `bevy_core`
