My personal preference would be a DSL that was basically only Linux + modules, standard GNU apps, and X (including the lua fltk tools of course). Everything else would be mounted into the system when needed. I don't believe this would be a good choice for the main path of DSL, though....at best perhaps an optional download would be nice. DSL was designed to be a speedy and compact general-purpose desktop, and I think it would be a good idea to stay on that course.
If this was to become an available distro, I couldn't say what I'd like to see remain, other than what I mentioned above. This is the main probelm I had in my own attempts at remastering DSL. In a way I think it would be fine even if it were still a 50mb distro without any desktop applications, replacing those apps with more libs and other dependencies that would make myDSL packages easier to create and much smaller. However, this would surely be a problem unless the "new" DSL was the only DSL.
