Comment(by tibbe):

 Supported by Henning Thielemann, Milan Straka, Malcolm Wallace, Iavor
 Diatchki, and Daniel Peebles. Christian Maeder suggested using packages
 containing only orphaned instances instead. Ian Lynagh raised some
 concerns about adding another boot package.

 Henning Thielemann pointed out that the array package should also be
 included in the proposal.
