This would be my idea as well. It also wouldn't be that difficult
to let people pick and choose which sets of tools to include in the
final -box via config.mk or similar. I would stick with only the
high-level sets and leave the omission of individual tools up to
the "user" (I already do this because I prefer a few tools from
OpenBSD even when using Linux).

I also agree with this. POSIX, like everything designed by committees,
is full of bad and/or incomplete ideas. I think that having a set
of tools that isn't GNU/spaghetti but still supports some of the
good non-POSIX options (for example sponge, xargs -P, working tar,
etc.) would be nice to have.
