These have appeared in desktop.mk, regular.mk, vm.mk
over time, and there are two problems around.
The minor one is that mixins have been introduced as
handy reusable bits close in context of their use;
this practically means that they fall under the same
class restrictions as their parent targets, that is
a mixin coming from regular.mk will only be available
for "distro" IMAGE_CLASS, and so on.
The major one is probably the worst design flaw in m-p:
building images from ground up, where ground is a valid
standalone buildable target as well.
Life has shown that we rather want to build up images
the other way around, choosing what essentials go in first
and then fitting the fine details along with the packaging.
The first sign of this difference appeared with ARMv7 Simply:
we had a well-built configuration aiming for x86 ISO, still
we needed roughly the same app/environment configuration
put into armh disk image.
Those platforms were different enough that we didn't actually
plan shipping *lots* of distributions but the problem was clear,
and it was much alike to the one that sprang m-p to life in the
first place (when we had a range of "common" distros and needed
to create and maintain a set of "school" ones that mostly had
similar or even identical difference to their respective base
ones -- and we couldn't do something like conf.d/p8.mk does now).
So mixins are going to become the softer way to turn m-p's
target configuration chain upside down to considerable extent:
build up what you're going to mix into the various deliverables,
and make it as portable across image classes, hardware platforms,
repository branches as feasible so that total maintenance effort
needed goes down or at least doesn't spike too bad.
And here's the first strike at that.
This makes more sense than with rescue as it's not only hardware
support check then but also actual functionality can be tested.
Looks like MATE is the DE we rather expect/recommend in environments
where PC/SC tends to pop up.
It's rare enough that more complete images could be used,
and it pulls in polkit with mozjs which is terrible here.
Never been a feature request but rather a TODO item,
and image size is what folks seem to be actually
concerned with.

This hefty bunch of packages gets dropped from most of the flavours;
those ones pulling it in explicitly (kde4, kde5, mate, xfce) get rid
of krb5-ticket-watcher as it's now autostarting (which is annoying
if one doesn't really intend to use kerberos auth off a livecd).
Parties looking into integrating non-mainstream starterkits into ALT
domain or whatever are highly probably best served by a custom build
including libreoffice et al. anyways, and those experimenting can
just follow wiki instructions when needed.
Feedback is welcome, of course.

This one has been split from regular rescue following
discussion with Will Glynn; some hefty bits like UEFI
support or an extra squashfs to check the image integrity
aren't needed, so let's just build a slimmer ISO instead.

This is needed for a custom autoinstalling image with grub
(as installer-feature-serial-stage3 doesn't support lilo
reliably yet); see bootloader feature's README regarding
the switch but the change is basically a no-op for the
.regular-jeos intermediate target.
...as requested by chemyakyn; the implementation
differs somewhat as the whole server+network pkglist
seems reasonable in all of the regular server builds.
Server image might hit a system accessible via e.g.
serial console and ethernet; let's make it feasible
to install ALT there without falling back to using
http://en.altlinux.org/rescue and manual deployment
(with all stops including manual bootloader setup).
This has been prepared with immense help by sem@ and our users:
http://forum.altlinux.org/index.php?topic=36177.msg299358#msg299358
(well that's the xfce-sysv livecd, sysv-xfce is pure installer
geared to replace sysv-tde for starterkits due to regressions
within the latter).
This is also no-op for the particular image being modified
as LIVE_PACKAGES is a subset of THE_PACKAGES in terms of
subprofiles affected.
NB: move use/browser/firefox/classic from systemd-based
xfce flavour here -- looks more appropriate ;-)
This one is slated for sysv installers (but should be rather
generic in that regard) through adding features suggested
by those users who also tend to care for sysvinit here. :)
The commit should be no-op either.
...at least for X11-carrying images; vseleznv@ says he's seen
a conflict with libinput resulting in touchpad disfunction.

Sad to have to do this but until Seamonkey Project
releases something they don't warn against themselves
our users can't be bluntly subjected to using a *known*
vulnerable browser.
First I thought leaving it enabled for some images might be good
for testing but someone has asked if it's going to be fixed
in regular-kde4.iso:
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/32377
No need to shorten most of the image names now due to #28271:
"ALT" prefix is 6 bytes shorter than "ALT Linux" and this
changes a lot for these particular names (<= 32-byte long)!
