Imho, the minimal distribution should be made as thin as possible. SSH is optional, though some features of the Admin service won't work if it's not installed. The problem is that we have features with optional parts that have non optional dependnecies and we haven't a way to model that yet.
For example, we could imagine installing the features-core bundle without features-management, and only install features-management if jmx has been installed. I think without that, it's quite difficult to really minimize the dependencies.
