Hi,
the shrinked image [1] reached the state when it is able to eval code, accept configurations via command line [2] etc. I think it is time to more deeply join it with the Pharo release workflow to make it easier for people to use it in their projects and improve it. Would be nice to to test if the new updates are breaking it, upload new builds to the file server and provide Zeroconf script options to download it.
First of all we need to find some fitting name.
Core Image Base Image Vanilla Image ?
It is not the kernel image because it contains a lot of packages that can be removed. It is headless image with Metacello support.

[2] for example ./pharo Pharo-4.0-Shrink.image config http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pharo/SystemConfigurations/main ConfigurationOfSUnit --group=Core,Tests --install=bleedingEdge
