A much more meaningful design, and an obvious improvement, would be to 
have a (say) sagemath-smallcore, where, say, 70% of 
sagelib functionality is, with the remaining parts based off this 
sagemath-smallcore. 


I agree.  This sounds more reasonable to me.  I could also imagine to have 
three layers:

* a core distribution with absolutely minimal dependencies and only 
dependencies which have proved stable on all supported platforms
* a distribution, or possibly even a few distributions, which exclude some 
possibly difficult dependencies
* all of sagemath
