base-system: Removed wifi dependencies
I use void on a Raspberry Pi, and it doesn't have WiFi. When trimming the system down to what I need, I always get stuck on a view `base-system` dependencies that would like to remove without using XBPS `-f` flag.
Here I suggest dropping the WiFi related packages, but would more generally like to start a conversation about dropping others too (`void-artwork`, `btrfs-progs`, `xfsprogs`, ...).
I'm not familiar enough with the void system at large to know what the consequences would be. Just ignore and close this pull request if I'm opening some Pandora's box, that should just be ignored.
A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/21351.patch is attached

Comment:
This would make the package orphaned for everyone depending on it and would also result in them not being part of the live systems.
You can use the `ignorepkg` xbps configuration option to be able to uninstall soft dependencies you don't want, see `man xbps.d`.

Comment:
A potential solution could be uninstalling `base-system` and using `base-voidstrap` for a lighter setup, however this still contains wireless-specific packages like `iw` and other packages you've mentioned (`btrfs-progs`, `xfsprogs`).
Creating your own template for `base-system` without the stuff you don't need may be the best solution.

I've tried that a few years ago, and ended up with a bricked device ^^.
