Things like bash completion have massive performance implications on network
and other slower file systems esp if its used for home directories. It
certainly shouldn't be in base.
Moving it to default in @system-tools seems fine to me as a first step.
However, that's not in the 'default' install (but it would place it on
the install media.) If it's wanted in the default install, the @base
group is the best place for it (it doesn't belong in @core.)
From a size perspective, it's not a huge deal - 500k with no deps
that
aren't already in @core. From a functionality perspective, it would be
good to fix the issues it has with disconnected machines, etc. - I've
always removed it personally because the times where it would annoy me
would always weigh higher than the times where it helped.
