another aspect now is "compatibility". If previously it did install
everything, it better keeps doing it now ;) but not sure how many
people used this neat feature we did with menu entries (I do on occasion
while testing VM).
on the other hand, indeed, probably installing just a -core would be the
most humane. May be eventually we should extend those with some
additional comments stating smth like "To install full suite, install
bla-bla package" which would accompany the prompt.
