The `base` group has been replaced by a metapackage of the same name, we
advise users to install this package (`pacman -Syu base`), as it is
effectively mandatory from now on.

Please, was this discussed somewhere? I want to know the details, and
gather what is needed to update the 'Installation guide' article in the
wiki. In particular, I want to understand why essential packages for new
installations, such as the kernel and a text editor, are not included
(actually I see the kernel is an optional dependency).



Yes, this was discussed over the years in several threads. The most recent being [0].

Lacking a kernel is mainly for container based environments. And some superfluous
packages were also removed from the group, like an editor.

The necessary changes to the installation guide were already made [1].
