Today we only have `base` group to install ArchLinux that install main Linux kernel, but in servers is better to use the linux-lts version. To have a server installed you must install `base` group, install `linux-lts` and uninstall `linux`.

We can have a base-lts group that be equal as base but with `linux-lts` kernel.
This task depends upon

Have you tried pacstrap -i /mnt base linux-lts --ignore linux

@loqs yes, is an option, but my proposal is to have a simple command.

Anyway have a base-lts is an idea. If Arch Linux people consider that is a bad idea or hard to maintain then forget it.
