Choice is fine, I love choice, but to have a user unpack a stage tarball
and find no way at all to handle their networking.... that's just ugly.
I mean we could just have dhcpcd in @system and let people figure it
out from there (wouldn't be my first choice but it would work) but I
would say it is rare enough to not need net that removing all networking
options from stage3 is near suicidal.
I can do all kinds of amazing things on a system without an MTA. But if
I have no net I can't even install net....
