Hey, I read your minutes, and discussed some of my thoughts on this

my workstation wg peers. Basically, I think that defining a 'base' as a
particular set of packages (minimal install, or some variant thereof)
does not really provide us what we need to build one or more products.'
What we really need as a base is a definition of the apis that are
guaranteed to be stable and that the products and applications can rely
on. Packages can to some extent serve as a proxy for that, but they are
really just an implementation detail of how the product is put
together.
+1 to this. In fact, I think we'll *need* to do it this way in order to be
able to innovate at both layers.
