Why would you use a "server" pattern with your new shiny bullshit-bingo technology?
Maybe because there is no "minimal container" / "JeOS" / "VM" pattern? Or is there?
Such a pattern would probably just include "aaa_base" (for /etc/passwd) and /etc/zypp/repos.d (but this generally is not part of a pattern), because containers have no need for bootloaders, kernels, not even an init system, and sometimes not even a shell.
I thought about this during the weekend and while I still believe that Yast is not necessary (if fact, not wanted) in Minimal Server pattern, it should contain everything that is actually needed for a minimal server, which also includes "some kind of Kernel" and bootloader.
The fact, that someone misuses Minimal Server pattern for Docker (it's not a server!), or any new technology that comes later, is not a reason for breaking that pattern for anyone else. "Minimal Container" is a nice example of how it should look like, logically. It would be good if the selection could trigger the "no recommends" feature though - then we could be a bit more specific what's on that installation and what isn't.
