At the risk of putting words in to Mickey's mouth, my view a generic 
distro is a generic.conf that contains the absolute minimum number of 
lines required to build an image successfully. Maybe we could call it 
minimal distro and remove generic?

Angstrom has features, generic does not.

The key is not to define the generic distro clearly and not let it 
feature creap towards Angstrom. (Kind of like minimal-image trying to 
get less minimal based on peoples viewpoint of what a minimal-image is)
