Mostly everything is configurable, and revertable as user - granted. I'd like to see a announcement and an optional discussion on this list if base profile gets changed [0] - current case bug 449364 [1].
I'm not opposed to the specific change, or base system changes in general, but I don't like seeing them slip thru under the radar. Just have the honesty and brin gsuch changes to public. [In this case] having an working mouse copy'n'paste eases the way from stage3 to a set up X server, X server tends to break, and it doesn't collide with X anymore. So it only needs <1MB data [2], which is very usefull editing stage3 with it's default editor - nano. I see the point that's it's useless on headless virtual boxes. my 2 cents.
