What
Remove unnecessary packages and steps from the image.
Why
We're installing things and leaving things in the image that take up about 25% of the image, but aren't needed for it to run. This image is ideally easy for a wide range of people to use. Not everyone has fast internet.
Some of the tools being removed were never needed and are only needed if building from source. Others look like they were there out of convenience when hacking on the image. For that latter case, folks can install whatever they need as they need it.
