To be fair, it totally disagree with this change.
For different reasons I second that.
VIMAGE definitively does not belong in MINMAL for comfort.
I think a solution is something which was in the re@ inbox for a long
time and someone said he'd do but it simply never happened.
About a decade+ ago we did want to publish more than one kernel on a
release to avoid all these problems.
I assume with pkgbase it would be super-easy by now (ignoring build
time and someone patching the installer).
I'd love to have a VIMAGE kernel (GENERIC+VNET) and I'd love to have a
NOIP4 (GENERIC without INET); these were the initial reasons for the
above request.
Would people thinkg this would be a better solution (at least for the
X86 world) -- still ahving to deal with arm64 and others then.
