Right - I see it now with OpenZaurus 3.5.4.2-rc0 where Poodle lack some
modules. Today I will probably move some of common modules into distro
config for that.

I like it. This way we do not have to add WiFi modules into each machine
config (or include common-modules.inc in machine configs) and if someone
want to create own distro without wifi he has to remove one feature only.

Go ahead I would say.

minimal-bootstrap = NFS + Wifi + USB (gadget/host) + BT (if machine support
bt or cf or usb) + working shell (for those people which want to install
own set of stuff)
