Why not allow installation of target packages into the toolchain and
these "difficult philosophical questions" of what to stuff into
toolchain are GONE.  End users can decide and enforce what they wanted
in there purely from normal distribution packages.

If they want ASU stuff in there, give 'em a list of package names that
form ASU, they can wget them and install them into their toolchain, even
keep up to date with ASU daily like that.

No other solution is gonna fix the root issue, is it!
