Description

Please describe the problem with this page:

https://E4S-Project.github.io/container-download/

It seems to me that the E4S minimal images should really just contain Spack and nothing else. I don't see why we favor MPICH as something to pre-install. I think this is especially true for images that are more commonly used on laptops and may only want sequential execution or a single GPU execution. It would be very easy for the user to install MPICH just like anything else.

Perhaps we could provide a true minimal image with the 26.11 release that would contain only Spack.
