scheme-basic provides hyperref but lacks new etoolbox dependency

TeX Live's basic installation scheme includes hyperref via
collection-latex. hyperref as from version 7.00v (2023-02-07) depends on
etoolbox, which is only part of collection-latexrecommended, so not
installed with scheme-basic. As a result, a fresh "basic" installation
fails to render simple hyperref documents with
! LaTeX Error: File `etoolbox.sty' not found.
I guess etoolbox should be moved from collection-latexrecommended to
collection-latex? (FWIW, 11 years ago, a similar dependency issue came
up here <https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2014-February/034923.html>.)
Thanks and best regards,
