Well, I made a suggestion how to classify the packages into disjunct
sets -- the only overlap is (should be?) between the base installation
packages (either min or core). There is no min, std, core in the -bin-ws-
packages.

So far I only got one comment about the bicycle package being in
two sets, which has been corrected.
