Any thoughts on:
1. All desktops except one that we want to keep as default and ready to jump 
on it to fix when update available or broken.
2. Web application like drupal, phpmyadmin, owncloud i.e pkgs that does not 
require compiling and are sometimes more easier to install by downloading the 
orig tar and just uncompressing in web-folders.

More pkgs can be picked based on definition and difference
 in community and main (please expand)
1. main requires 2yrs maintenance skill commitment.
2. main has higher priority when comes to pushing update/broken pkgs in next 
releases , right ?

Based on 2 above, I can spot (debatable though), 
 zabbix, nagios, wayland


This can also help in creating various isos, like
1. alpine-boot (bootable+live+AL preferred net tools/utils)
    media that gets you started with bare alpine install
    (quite same as current alpine-mini)
2. alpine-cd (same above + main) - non-desktop
2a. alpine-cd2 (anything in main if above 700mb)
...
3. alpine-dvd (1+2+2a+community)

What if 2+3 had boot options - grsec vanilla ?
Will this help in not creating the smaller sized vanilla and xen isos ?

Comments welcome.
