Apologies for not making the meeting. Some comments

My concern with this, as a base design, is that the current implementation
of anaconda leads to a dependency tree that is *not* small; it's much larger
than the minimal install, as it extends to storage tools, NetworkManager,
graphical toolsets, and other items. (You could even arguably pull in X and
in the future wayland.)

It's not a *bad* thing to have as a base design - I could make the argument
that changes in that base (NM, X, etc.) are all things that should be
coordinated as a layer under the separate products. But it does give a wider
area of coverage than may be expected.

(Also, stabilizing the build dependencies therein. Wheee.)
