That sounds good to me but I think the name of this new virtual group needs to really emphasize its difference to the current (and future) base group more clearly. Perhaps something like `minimal-system` or anything else somebody clever than me can think of, so long as it does not include the words `base` or `core` to avoid confusion. Apart from this important bikeshedding issue, I'm all in favor of this. Cheers. -- Gaetan
