For portability (extending into more templates and more installers etc)
this seems like a nice idea.

For example: you want to have a minimal XFCE image with just one
definition, and you want to maintain deriviates of this minimal
XFCE image in the same file. Or more in the spirit of this thread:
You have one system install definition, but for hardware compability
reasons you need to change some tiny pieces in it and add 3 variants
for various hardware architecture. This would allow me to reduce

 infotropique/system/{core,$arch-core,$arch-$wm,…}
or something like infottropique/system/$arch/$wm
to a more clean library overview.

Just as a potential reference sneak-peak without
much context ;)

Definitely very exciting!
