The `base` group has been replaced by a metapackage of the same name, weadvise users to install this package (`pacman -Syu base`), as it is effectively mandatory from now on.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