I wouldn't mind either option - net-tools has been deprecated for a decade, |
| 9 |
but if we still ship it as default it will be used. |

Some people seem to think that stage3 is bloated - last time I looked at it |
| 12 |
there was lots of really-not-needed stuff like two python interpreters. If you |
| 13 |
want to de-bloat work on that, the extra 150kB or whatever of iproute2 are so |
| 14 |
small that it's barely noticeable. |
| 15 |

And by the same reasoning of "bloat" we should remove openssh ( and maybe even |
| 17 |
rsync ;) ) because it's not strictly needed - so maybe we want a "minimal" and |
| 18 |
a "useful" stage3 ? |

Have fun, |
