IntelFrameworkModulePkg\Universal\SectionExtractionDxe produces the framework section extraction protocol which is replaced by MdeModulePkg\Universal\SectionExtractionDxe.

I had a misunderstanding. The two drivers cannot replace each other.
The one in MdeModulePkg provides GUIDed section extraction capability.
The one in IntelFrameworkModulePkg provides non-GUIDed section extraction capability.
Talked with Liming Gao offline. He suggested to merge IntelFrameworkModulePkg\Universal\FirmwareVolume\FwVolDxe\ and IntelFrameworkModulePkg\Universal\SectionExtractionDxe to one new driver in MdeModulePkg (GUIDed section extraction capability can be directed to GUIDED_SECTION_EXTRACTION protocol).
DXE CORE only provides Firmware Volume read capability.
The new driver provides Firmware Volume read/write capability.

Or we could just remove the FwVolDxe and SectionExtractionDxe in IntelFrameworkModulePkg if we think there is no need of FV write capability.
