This topic has been beat to death. deraadt@ and other have made it clear that
if you do not install all the sets, you are running an unsupported
configuration. It has been stated that if people keep bitching, they're just
going to merge the release sets into one set.
I like the fact that there are separate sets. A number of times I've had to
squeeze an install onto a <2GB disk, and it was useful being able to select
only the specific sets I wanted/needed, while at the same time acknowledging that
it was indeed an unsupported configuration.
If people are going to try and be edgelords by refusing to install all the
sets, then it's up to them to maintain and diagnose their unsupported
configuration.
You can't seriously be calling "-x* -game*" an unsupported configuration ?
Seems to me like a sensible thing to do on any box that's going to be headless for its
entire life and only ever accessed via SSH (or text console at a push).
It's an unsupported configuration.
