If the ultimate goal is to eliminate @system entirely (which it probably isn't), we will need to revisit the way stage building works. If understand correctly, a stage3 contains @system and its dependencies. The smallest you can really make @system under that circumstance would be a working toolchain and the utilities necessary to build any other needed packages. I think that is the goal that most people have been shooting for lately.
