That is just insanity. What $RANDOM_DISTRIBUTION provides is packaging lots of stuff and make it compatible and work well together (and get it installed in one uniform way from a fixed, dependable location). If you want your minimalistic distribution, go start it (or just use Linux from Scratch). (Back in my Slackware and early Red Hat days, I just installed lots of random stuff from source myself. I learned the hard way that such has to be kept to a minimum if you treasure your sanity at all. Today I install non-standard stuff into $HOME, if it really helps in scratching an irritating itch or I'm actively following some development.)
