The absolute minimum maintainable set should be "minimum."

It needs a text editor, and the one history tells us should be there is vi (not that johnny-come-lately nano that some install).

I don't care whether the practical minimum is "base" or "core," and I think I'm not alone in being unable to see the difference between the terms.
The problem is that the word "minimum" is so heavily loaded (and
differently loaded) that if you use it, you make no one happy.  So, you
pick different terms so that people can have the "minimum" they are
looking for
I was both joking, and making your point about this, regarding ed vs vi.

But a real question is this- Can the parsing of the package list be improved so that the original intuitive attempt at the beginning of this thread-

%packages
   @base
   -selinux-policy
   -selinux-policy-targeted
   -selinux-policy-mls
   %end

would actually work?

It should be working -- I haven't tried it in anaconda in a while, but
it definitely was working in livecd-creator when I was poking at the
smallest installs back before the holiday.  I'll try to fire up an
install later in the weekend and try.  But right now, it's 8 pm on
Friday night and so I am going to enjoy the evening :-)

You mean RH actually lets you have friday nights off?

Anyway, perhaps related, I just filed this bug-
