Yes. I agree! In fact, that's why I started the project. I guess it's
a little confusing to use DFS to refer both to the "standard" DFS ISOs
and to the build system.
dfsbuild is already very far along that path, with the sets of packages
(save for the base system) fully configurable, kernels configurable too,
etc.
