I thought part of 'minimal' meant that the packages were as stock as possible. I was under the impression that we shipped minimally altered packages and it was up to the administrator to perfect each package to her liking.
I thought we only make a few little patches to the default kernel in the repo and anyone who wants to strip drivers and use BFS is welcome to do so through the AUR and/or ABS.
I don't really use stock kernel so it doesn't matter to me, but for point of reference, (and please correct me if I'm wrong here) I thought default in the repos was the generally accepted Arch Way.
I'm pretty sure your summary is accurate. However, these are things done in a configuration file when building the kernel. There isn't really a "default". So the question then becomes: Should the default build for the kernel contain "everything and the kitchensink [sic]"?
