Allan and I have both stated that we don't want to introduce a new group
since we believe it would be highly redundant with base.

Nothing new has been said since our last messages except Eli's post
which argues that the base group is largely inadequate in its current
state. This further supports our proposal that base should be improved
instead of introducing a new group.

So I really don't see what arguments could have changed our minds...
It's also strange to me how you can concur with Eli's post without
agreeing with our conclusions.

To go forward I suggest you propose a clear definition of the perfect
"minimal system" group you'd want to have, along with a proposed list of
packages. When consensus is reached, we adopt this list of packages for
base and put this definition on the wiki.

Cheers.
