What does a minimum stack size mean ?

I have always assumed this setting provides enough stack so the tests 
could run across a number of platforms. I do not use it in any 
applications I develop.

Yes it would seem to be wasteful for idle. The init task is tricky 
because static constructors run on it. If you use the BSP init code in 
bsp/shared where your entry point is main the network stack maybe 
started. There is also the implicit stack in the BSP context that starts 
RTEMS. These all require the user's involvement to make sure they are 
big enough.
