Speaking as a user of OpenEmbedded for about a year or so now: I've
never looked at core-image-basic, had no idea what it contained. I
assumed wrongly that -basic was smaller than -minimal (possibly due to
confusion with base). If I was looking for "an image with all the
common/basic command line tools" I probably wouldn't have looked at
core-image-basic due to my wrong assumption.

core-image-cmdline would, to me, be a lot clearer. Given no further
info I'd probably interpret that as "something with a usable command
line interface". I'd also probably assume it was larger and had more
features than -minimal. I say probably as having read this discussion
I now know what -cmdline would mean, but I think it would have been
clearer to me.

Hope this helps,
