We've previously been resistant to including developer tools by default
because not all developers use the same tools. E.g. gcc is niche and
unneeded by web developers, so that one's not present.
But we have not been entirely consistent. E.g. git is installed by
default. That one is probably of greater utility, though.
I'm thinking most developers probably have no interest in the
containerization tools....

We actually don't include @standard in Workstation precisely to avoid
stuff like this getting pulled in. I see that fpaste is indeed
installed by default, but that's because it was added directly to
@workstation-product.
