All of this seems like a lot of unnecessary shuffling to what has been a reliable base install for the past decade. Why on earth no simply create a 'base-container' group to provide the install for those desiring an install to support containers and leave the traditional base group alone. The lack cryptsetup, device-mapper, dhcpcd, mdadm, netctl, s-nail, vi and which in base seems to leave a 'base' install very unusable. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
