The purpose of the system set is to deal with circular deps and the |
| 16 |
need to bootstrap. We shouldn't have stuff in there if it is possible |

There are loads of things I can't live without which aren't in the |
| 20 |
system set. I have a default world file that I always start with |
| 21 |
anytime I do an install. If we ever get mix-ins worked out that would |
| 22 |
be another way to just have convenience sets of recommended software. |
