Can you explain what would be accomplished by testing all or even a
fraction of the possible permutations of base package combinations?  We
don't do that for ports.  Other operating systems don't do that for
their base packages.  Honestly, some of us are wondering what exactly is
behind some of these concerns regarding base packages.
