So when we ship 2008.11, what will this have?  slim_install, 
babel_install, redistributable?

The only thing that runs before the kernel is GRUB.  A single-package 
category (it would be empty on SPARC) seems not useful.

OK, what do you mean by "network support"?  The stack is in the core 
packages right now, I'm skeptical we'd try to separate it.  Drivers are 
elsewhere.  Most everything else is services, or it's client 
applications like ftp or wget, which if that's what you mean, OK, I 
guess, but then I'd call it network clients or something.
