I should clarify, I guess, that I believe this affects both Server DVD
and boot.iso. The 'Everything' (generic) boot.iso does offer Minimal.
How exactly is the boot.iso affected? I don't see a problem with the generic
Everything boot.iso continuing to ship minimal as an option. Though I think we
need to rework what minimal actually means, since basically it's just the
accumulated set of crap that pre-Fedora.next thought no system could live without.
