I think the main sticking point here is what the *default* image is. 
There is nothing wrong with minimal and/or specialized images; that's 
both to be expected and helpful. To give an example, in the Croquet SDK 
you actually get two images: The "Croquet" image which contains 
everything out-of-the-box and the "Homebase" image, which is minimal and 
tucked away in the deployment directory. So that (for people who care) 
they can start with a fresh image, load *just* what they want and need 
and use that but with the default image being the full experience.
