Yes, given that the disc1 file systems are also used to create the
memstick images.

No, given that we'd likely want to have a variant of the memstick
images which include all base tools also for snapshots. However, so
far the dvd1 images are only created for releases and around the
notion to contain packages, i. e. it's not as simple as creating
additional memstick images from the dvd1 file system. Also, given
that with head the amd64 disc1 image is overflowing despite all
of the stripping, the way to go for 12.0 likely is to drop the
historical limits on images sizes along with the disc1 images and
instead provide DVD images with all base tools and for releases,
additional DVD images with packages on top. Similar for memstick
images. All of this probably boils down to adding options to both
makefs(8) and mkimg(1) for simply excluding the packages directory
(as for makefs(8), simpler than via an mtree(8) file) first, so
we neither need to employ hacks in the release scripts nor build
yet another file system set.
