The trick of course is that there needs to still be an agreed - upon
(possibly minimal) set that always gets installed. 

The list would definately start with things like ln, ls, df, du, dd (sh,
and other two letter commands) and would probably be a subset of Unix9x
required commands. Anything presently in /bin is a must (IMHO) but in say
/sbin most people can do without atm (but not much else). 

And at least IMHO bind is not an optional component. But pccard, ctm,
isdn, and several others are.
