Maybe the definition of the fedora base set needs a bit of updating,

either...)
For minimal installs you also need a tool that can do automatic
installation of dependencies. Otherwise the first thing every admin who
installs minimal will have to do is to fetch down yum, python, etc to get
themselves rolling. Maybe in the eventual future dnf, libzypp etc will be
fetched down - but in either case minimal requires such a tool as part of
it.
