mandatory: when you select a group this package will be selected
and you cannot remove it (no checkbox)
default: when you select a group this package will be selected
but you can remove it (checkbox in front)
optional: when you select a group this package will not be
selected but you can select it (checkbox in front)
you can see this when running redhat-config-package too.
