Since routers do not need netcfg any more than they do wpa_supplicant,
with your reasoning, it should not be in base either...

If we stick to the definition that the base group should contain
everything needed too boot up a minimal system and connect it to the
network, then I do not see how you can consider wpa_supplicant optional.
