What's the point of tiers if we bend the definition of them?

Maybe it needs to document both:
* without optional packages it's tier 2
* with optional packages it's tier 3

I can imagine that this will be interesting for more frameworks where it could 
be that depending on which platform we run on it's a different tier 
(kglobalaccel is currently tier 1 for non-X11, but tier3 on X11).
