But if it is just "everything from core", what's the argument for having it,
then? From what I've heard from people who like having Everything, they want
it because they want every possibility pre-installed -- which this wouldn't
be. It'd just be "a bunch of stuff that's useful in a core distribution,
the majority of which isn't ever going to be useful or relevant to any one
specific installation".
