All of this seems like a lot of unnecessary shuffling to what has been a
reliable base install for the past decade. Why on earth no simply create a
'base-container' group to provide the install for those desiring an install to
support containers and leave the traditional base group alone. The lack
cryptsetup, device-mapper, dhcpcd, mdadm, netctl, s-nail, vi and which in base
seems to leave a 'base' install very unusable.
