There is a need for a "minimum" install of a lot of packages.

there should be a use minimum environment variable and as I said, the minimum is usually what is required for build dependencies. And the minimum install may require less "other" packages thus reducing the explosion.


Such a 'minimum' install should probably be the default when coming in
as a dependency, as
there is an increasing tendency to configure things with all the bells
and whistles.
The bare minimum will never be the default.  The default is what will
fit most people, so that they can use our packages out of the box.
