Perhaps we should try to get some form of agreement on the names - there is a long thread about better names that I haven't had the time to comb through. I do agree that core/base/kernel are a bit hard to intuitively grasp.
Personally I am not to hung up on cool metaphors, I just want the ordering to be dead obvious, here are some variants:
kernel/base/full
kernel/dev/full
kernel/dev/base
kernel/minimal/full
....well. I am still also wondering if we really need to distinguish between core and base. Cees had some nice arguments but I need to reread them I think. Note that I am not saying we shouldn't have these concepts - its just that I think that perhaps they are merely "distros" or in SM speak - different "load scripts", and not really different package groups.
