This is similar to what Trinux does - no login.

Oxygen doesn't use sed during boot.

With the maximal fragmentation in Oxygen, one can strip out GNU sed
for minised (or whatever) if it is desired - just rm sed.lrp and put
in the desired msed.lrp...

It sounds almost like you want a "minimal set" of enumerated binaries
and functions, and then Oxygen would add set X and Dachstein would add
set Y.

It sounds like ANSI FORTH (did I say this before?).  ANSI FORTH has a
CORE Word Set, and a FLOAT Word Set, etc.  An ANSI compliant FORTH may
have a minimal number of Sets, but if they are compliant then it is
"ANSI Compliant with the CORE, [...etc...] Word Sets."

Is this what you have in mind?
