You do realize that the size of the base needs to be bound to the lowest 
common denominator between current and future multiple products to make 
it this kind of proposal work now and in the future right?

That immediately binds it and limit it to the size of embedded ( 
Embedded --> Cloud/Containers --> Servers --> Workstation/Desktop/Laptop 
whatever else )  to relevant packages for embedded within those 1806 
components that make up the self hosting Fedora base since there seemed 
there had been reached a perfectly logical consensus to limit what makes 
up the baseWG from those self hosting 1806 component.

Nor can you introduce components to be shared among WG outside the self 
hosting components of the baseWG and I'm quite frankly a bit stunned if 
Philipp Knirsch and the rest of the baseWG agreed to do that since by 
doing so they invalidate their own logical approach of building and 
limit baseWG to self hosting components.
