Well, games and xserv are definitely not needed in some cases at least. And we moved stuff to base in the past to avoid depending on comp. There are some quaint machines with little space to spare and where extra disk space is actually expensive/impossible to obtain. I'm a bit surprised nobody looked at instrumenting what sets are actually installed on a machine during install/manual upgrade and cloning that into sysupgrade to avoid this kind of surprise...
