Is this defined? Such as 500 MHz CPU, 128 MB RAM, 2 GB disk?

A few years ago, I defined "lightweight" as 166 MHz CPU, 64 MB memory 
(and no swap), and 300 MB disk.

I am currently using LXDE on 2 core 2.4 GHz CPU, 5 GB RAM, and over 100 
GB disk -- and on 2 core 2.26 GHz CPU, 2.8 GB RAM and over 200 GB disk.

How will this be measured?  What is it compared with?

What defines "most"?

I think it is too open-ended.  If specific limits aren't in place then 
the focus of lightweight may be lost and it will just become another 
desktop environment.
