Depends on the scope. I think that the B definition plus ssh-server goes into the right direction. The minimal system should have networking in place and ssh ready to interact with the fresh installation. More stuff is not necessary. If you need more, invoke yum and install whatever you need (so yum should also be in the core definition). Things like cron, MTA and other stuff should from my point of view not be in the core installation, this is more something like core plus lsb.

-- [...]Yeah: if we get to the point where every real install has to add the same
subset of packages to core, I don't think we've succeeded in doing anything
except make more work for the whole world.
A cron daemon and (at least basic) MTA fall in the same area, I think.
But what about ssh-clients?
Is there a reasonable yardstick rule we can make, or is it pragmatically
best to just make per-package decisions?
