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.
