I think that's the wrong approach. Images build on top of the core
should generally *add* things, not remove them. If the packages are not
required in the core they should be removed from it and then be added
back at the next level up.
In other words, if you have packages that we can safely remove from the
core images, we should remove them, and put them back via build script
into the "standard" image.

These are excellent candidates. However, we must make sure that we can
load them back, and we *should* load them back in the standard image.

This sounds as if we would suddenly stop supporting Squeakmap or
Universes or Installer. I am *not* in favor of that. That's why we need
to have the discussion about what is in the "standard" Squeak image. I
would argue that Installer, Squeakmap, Universes belong in the standard
image for the time being; but they don't belong in the core image. As a
consequence, we should keep them in the trunk repository.
