Well there might be more things but still I'd prefer to enable more
packages by default if it doesn't affect entire system (especially with
those "special" packages not enabled) a lot.

I mean as long as we don't introduce significant increase of either
memory footprint of existing system or cause run-time overhead it's
good to allow more packages to be built.

That said if someone wants more stripped down system it's easier
to disable uClibc options (directly via uclibc-menuconfig) compared
to:
 a) Enabling extra options in uClibc plus
 b) Patch Buildroot
to get some extra packages.
