Hi,

the shrinked image [1] reached the state when it is able to eval code,
accept configurations via command line [2] etc. I think it is time to more
deeply join it with the Pharo release workflow to make it easier for people
to use it in their projects and improve it. Would be nice to to test if the
new updates are breaking it, upload new builds to the file server and
provide Zeroconf script options to download it.

First of all we need to find some fitting name. It is not the kernel image
because it contains a lot of packages that can be removed. It is headless
image with Metacello support.
