Hi,

> I'm all for moving it

maybe we should get back[1] to the drawing board and finally formaly define
what is core/base package, so it's clear? BTW in that email I've proposed
initial list of potential packages for cleanup/move, but comgt/uqmi and
probably few others were omitted.

In this case removing the package in DEFAULT_PACKAGES would clearly result in
the regression during sysupgrade to the next release, as folks might lose
upstream connectivity if they're using uqmi/comgt for that purpose.

Yeah, we can document it and all, but it would be really silly to remove such
essential and core networking/wireless feature. It seems, that once the
feature is in official image it can't be removed easily without making some
users angry.
