I have suggested this before, only much more hard'core'. The "true minimum' needed to initiate an installation is a relatively small packageset that does not require X or a Desktop Environment, in fact I proposed to precook that minimum into a tarball and poop it onto your HDD in one shot, boot into that and bring in what you need in a < 1 minute install action.
Put another way, no playing favourites, blow Gnome into Extras too, turn the actual 'core' into something that is good for Firewalls, routers, server duties AND the basis of a Desktop box.
