2) Look at the existing tasks and:
* evaluate their usefulness
* remove any that are obsolete
* adjust existing contents if needed
* look for useful groups of packages that might be added

We need to pay particular attention to task-core-boot and task-base as these 
are pulled in by default in any image that inherits from core-image.bbclass - 
if these are not generally working for people that are creating their own 
images, we need to change them such that they are.

Have a look at task-boot and task-basic in meta-oe: https://github.com/openembedded/meta-oe/tree/master/meta-oe/recipes-core/tasks

My pet peeve is the bloat oe-core forces onto qemu* builds in the name of "our testing team needs it!!!". Why am I forced to build an nfs server and distcc when setting MACHINE=qemusomething?

Keep things like that in mind when overhauling the tasks.
