As raised in w3c/epubcheck#1452, I don't know that we can ever perfectly clarify what publication resources are, but PR makes clear that the mimetype file and meta-inf files are not, so they are not listed in the manifest.

That should make the statement about the manifest only listing publication resources redundant, as the other cases are now explained (linked resources and the above files).

There will still be impossibilities for epubcheck to determine, like whether a publication resource without any reference to it is intentionally travelling in the container or was forgotten to be removed, but as noted in the epubcheck issue we can add usage messages to flag those.

Looks good to me. I like that this removes a normative statement that cannot be checked.
