I agree... Dan made this split to make things easy. Renaming the
package and adding a group or a metapackage is not easy and obvious.

While pacman may run fine without a mirrorlist, the pacman shipped
with ArchLinux does not, by default. The hard dep makes complete
sense. I imagine Dan feels similar.

Anyone is welcome to rebuild pacman via abs if they feel that the
defaults we ship are inappropriate
