I agree with the proposal of having a very minimal OS. I do not agree
with removing packages from existing systems. I understand unman's point
that it will increase support calls, I think that supporters should
point out that it is for advanced users, rather than trying to help
others. I believe minimal templates are best leveraged with
orchestration tools.

Now back to the point of defining how minimal it is, I agree with
Marek's point of a minimal system:

- - being as minimal as it can be
- - having orchestration tools installed by default

I don't think xterm is necessary give qvm-console-dispvm. It is not the
perfect solution yet as the management console window does not inform
which qube it is connected to [0].
