Well, the definition I remembered is a bit different
(http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3412).

Hey, a volunteer, great! Testing the Full image and making sure
everything plays nicely together is a very serious task.

Of the three (Full, Basic, Minimal), yes, it *is* the first-stop media
user system. This is the one somebody new to Deep Squeaking should use
(in contrast to Casual Squeakers which we refer to Squeakland).
That said, I'm a bit indifferent about including hard-core hacking
stuff like VMMaker or Refactoring browser. I personally would include
VMMaker but not RB, but I couldn't explain where to draw the line.
