I've not used Arch or looked too deeply into it … how much does this
minimization impact features?  Is it a stated policy to forgo features
in order to minimize dependencies?  Or is it left more to the discretion
of individual packagers?  Is there any way to control features (and thus
dependencies) as an end-user; (if you're familiar with them,) anything
similar to Gentoo's USE flags?
