Every reason you list is a good reason.

Hmm what I don’t like about heavyweight live images is that there are
so many possibilities and they make so many decisions on what is the
default.  Currently I can guix install the programs I actually want.
Oh well.  Maybe not preinstall all those apps, be it an IRC client, a
Web browser, GNUnet or whatever we like, but instead have the user
choose to install them?

Florian
