That's exactly what I am thinking about. Since we already have such an image (core-image-base) that isn't being used for anything else, why not make it into something useful? Right now since core-image-minimal overrides IMAGE_INSTALL you can't use IMAGE_FEATURES and POKY_EXTRA_INSTALL to extend it, nor does it have package management that some users would be expecting; I think it would be useful to have a base image where those mechanisms do work. (Maybe the term "minimal" wouldn't apply to this image.)
