Indeed. "emacs-nox11" should only remove the X11 dependency (and any other related fallout from removing X11 support). In the emacs world, i.e. the world view of emacs users, X11 support or lack thereof isn't about bloat, but rather which, if any, GUI does it run under. Personally I don't see the point to an "emacs-minimal" package that blindly disables every option, but if anyone wanted it, sure, why not. -- Greg A.
