I think I am not confusing them again, I think other people are.

This is what happened:

Changes to the distro have made the image bigger (80 kB to 4MB).

Apparently, the image does not define what goes in the image, but the
distro now specifies a minimum amount of packages that goes in.

Also, we seem to be moving to the point where people must both disable
default packages to go in, and enable packages to go in.

Why not simply go back to the idea where the images defines what goes
in?  I think it's more user friendly.
