I don't think that this is a good idea for a number of reasons. IPMI is not nearly as prevalent as one might think it is, it is not a true standard (Intel only), and there are a variety of good toolsets that are very easy to install. Finally, users of IPMI are sophisticated enough to install it when they need it and want it. I can't think of a case where a novice end user needs it and isn't delivered a box preconfigured.

I'm not particular at the moment, but with the proliferation of IPMI in
the server environment, is there any consideration to putting one of the
appropriately licensed tools into the base?
