About 3.6 alpha process: to break the less

Loading this package reloads all the packages unloads. If you want to
work on a Full image, as you stated, this will help.

I've stated before that I don't think that's the solution - I think that
refactoring an image with any subset of SM package will break some
stuff. Working in Full will make you generate patches to lots of
packages. This is good, if you intend to help the maintainer of each
package integrate it. Otherwise, it's a waste of time.

Either way, don't feel free to deprecate anything you don't think is
used, because you *don't* have a closed world. Give consideration to
what you remove/deprecate.
