I would suggest this be given better consideration, beyond that of "opinion", as it is currently impossible to use Ubuntu on a minimal server. A "minimal" build is now running services that are unwanted, unexpected, and are creating risk to the enduser. Even though the development of lxd is something I'm excited for and I use lxc just about everyday I have workloads I do not want container services on and this decision is going to force myself and everyone else to perform addition post kick steps to actually deploy a minimal baremetal server. I'd agree with Tom's suggestion to add a menu item in the install process to select container services making it an optional install, it could even be selected by default, but I definitely don't think it should be forced upon the end-user.

This brings in all of the required dependencies as well, obviously, which seems like it is not the best default behavior to have. When installing from a non-UEFI boot, the user may select "minimal install" from the "F4" menu. This menu is not available from the UEFI grub environment, making it apparently impossible to select an installation that does not include the LXC and LXD suite by default.
