Hi, There's a lot of programs sticking around since a long time, and are less useful today. at the very least, they do not need to be in base.tgz, which means they take up space even in minimal installs.
Examples: ekermit in rescue, base.tgz bpm in base.tgz atf tests utilities in base.tgz I want to: delete ekermit, bpm (or at the very least move them to another set). move atf things (and rump?) out of base.tgz to a more optional set.
