Yes, we do.

Also, it is releng's intention to change to a stage4 for normal new
install stages.  It will contain the most needed pkgs for new installs,
and allow the @system set to be trimmed down more.  It is entirely
possible, to at that point, then create smaller chroot/container images
without undue hardships and complexities for new installs.

But please let's not sidetrack this thread more with this tangent.
That's a different bikeshed to paint.
