That looks OK so far, just one nit: it would be much cleaner from the
perspective of Git if you first renamed ob.el -> ob-core.el and then
patched it.  That way git blame would continue to work across that
commit in a mostly sensible manner.  Right now all lines in those two
files are new things that sprang into existence with this commit as far
as Git is concerned.

Not necessarily, but if it cleans up the code, this would be worth
doing.  Maybe as a second step, since none of it should be broken right
now?

Which codepaths would directly activate ob-comint for instance and why
is it appropriate to just (require 'ob-core) in this case?

Looks nicer to me, anyway.
