It does work just fine. I know it, because I am removing all the recommends
post mortem using a custom rpm that Conflicts: with most of them.

It certainly does not leave me with an unusable system. zypper is around, as is
sshd, in other words, the desired _minimal_ system. As mentioned previously,
whether yast2 counts towards minimal or towards bonus material is a personal
opinion, but augeas-lenses and perl-Business-ISBN-Data certainly are _not_
essential.
And quite frankly, if a system without any Recommends isn't usable, then why
are the required pieces not a Required?
