I would vote to make nifi-flume-nar optional, and it looks like nifi-other-graph-services-nar might be new since last release, so since that is in the top 10 and not released yet, it might also be a good candidate (not downplaying the usefulness of anything in that NAR).
I would also think we could consider the nifi-kafka-0-8-nar since Kafka 0.8 is quite old at this point, and we already have other Kafka NARs for 0.9, 0.10, 0.11, 1.0, and 2.0. Might even consider dropping a few more versions from default assembly.
