If we are going to do this might I suggest that it would be nice to |
| 8 |
create a new set for things that we want to be present by default, but |
| 9 |
which are not part of @system. |
| 10 |
|

Some things like a libc virtual make more sense in @system. You can't |
| 12 |
run without them, and devs don't want to specify them as dependencies |
| 13 |
(though I personally think we'd be better served by making them |
| 14 |
explicit deps anyway). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
However, there are always things like editors, sshd, and now |
| 17 |
gpg/git/etc that are sensible defaults, but there really is no harm if |
| 18 |
you uninstall them and no reason to give them special treatment for |
| 19 |
parallel builds or dependency specifications. So, having an |
| 20 |
additional set would make sense. This set would be part of the stage3 |
| 21 |
and livecd, but could be more easily uninstalled without as many scary |
| 22 |
warnings, and dependencies would have to be explicit, and parallel |
| 23 |
builds would work fine. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So, how is that for a bikeshed? |
