No worries.  To have a minimal distro, we first need a set of default 
distro features from which to subtract some to have a minimal set.  We 
don't really have any real distro features defined yet - the ones we do 
are non-sensical IMO - they are artifacts of my lack of bitbake-fu from 
5 years ago.  I would like to hear about areas where you think it might 
make sense to define distro features.

I can see how my summary would cause confusion.  FWIW I used the summary 
in core-image-base as a template.  Is there a better summary?

Maybe this helps - I was trying to replicate oe-core:

  core-image-sato -> obmc-phosphor-image (all/most of the image features 
                                          are enabled by default)
  core-image-base -> obmc-phosphor-image-base (a minimal set of packages)

What is the minimal set of packages?  I don't think we know yet.  I 
expect many to bbappend obmc-phosphor-image-base, and select specific 
image features (IMAGE_FEATURES) or directly install packages 
(IMAGE_INSTALL).  After enough time has passed, we can use those as an 
input for identifying what makes sense to use in the base image recipe 
as the default.
