I am unable to send to arch-dev-public for some reason so i am send my reply to arch general. I think the filesystem can be split, the sysuser/tempfile will be in the independent package. I do believe we seriously need a meta package for some parts of base. Systemd, Glibc, PAM, Filesystem, Coreutils, mkinitcpio ,Util linux and linux firmware are obviously need to be moved to a metapackage. This helps since it makes it easier during major transitions in the future. Stuff like editors, bootladers, kernels (efi partions when dual booting has space for a single kernel), snail are optional and remain as a group. The meta package takes place of all other package of the base group.
