Me too.  I  would like to see "full" include the developer stuff.  It is
perfectly understandable if the Full image has tons of stuff that any
particular user will not use.  I would rather have Full be too big, than
have a major class of users needing to download extra stuff even beyond
what the "full" image already includes.

Further, even if we do find someone to volunteer on maintaining images,
I would suggest that they work on creating one good full image instead
of making multiple images that have different stuff loaded.  We seem to
have a serious lack right now regarding image maintenance.  But of
course, any effort someone volunteers is great.
