This contains X11_IMAGE_FEATURES

This image should NOT contain any X11, this is supposed to be an 
extention of core-image-minimal with many of the busybox related 
commands substituted for the real command set.  The intention of this 
image is two fold, first it's the largest image that we test against 
non-GPLv3 and it's the non-graphical LSB image (I am not sure if there 
is a spec test defined for that.

So, no I do not think they can be merged.  But renaming core-image-core 
to core-image-x11-base might make sense, also renaming core-image-basic 
to core-image-lsb-basic may clear things up.

On this one I might agree, I know that we have not built that image, nor 
does it seem to be used by anything else.
