What about enabling recommends, but shipping targeted locks to prevent installation of the worst offenders by default? That's what I currently do on my MicroOS system, since no-recommends is too barebones, and with my approach I get the bloat down quite a bit (actually the current root snapshot for some reason uses *less* disk space than the one of a completely vanilla reference installation in a VM).

Locks are a terrible cludge that just result in broken systems I'm all for installing all language patterns all the time, I'm not for installing GB and GB of random junk alongside them We should have this fixed in the install media somewhen soon..then we just need to find a solution for pre-built images also -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
