Depends on the scope. I think that the B definition plus ssh-server goes
into the right direction. The minimal system should have networking in
place and ssh ready to interact with the fresh installation. More stuff is
not necessary. If you need more, invoke yum and install whatever you need
(so yum should also be in the core definition). Things like cron, MTA and
other stuff should from my point of view not be in the core installation,
this is more something like core plus lsb.
