> This is my proposed base policy on what should go into the image...

	That all sounds reasonable. If we want to make policy, I think I would
(somewhat loosely) state it as simply "the released image should contain
things for which omission would cause confusion or inconvenience to a
new user". Note that, as our distribution technology changes (and we get
things like utterly-minimal images, pervasive network installation,
unloading, etc.), the implications of that statement will evolve.
