I like the new scheme. "Extended" implies bigger, but not necessarily better=
, which I think strikes the right balance. alpine-extended is not for everyo=
ne, just for those who need some extra packages in the iso.

As seen in our discussion yesterday, not everyone sees the need for alpine-e=
xtended. Can we 'market' it as an example of how to create customized isos? N=
ot sure if users would create custom isos in the same manner or not.
