i don't think it's broken at all. debian does something similar in that it groups packages into 'tasks', and you can decide at install time which tasks you want to install (database server, python development, documentation tools, X, workstation, etc.)

something similar might work for fc5, but imo fc5 need not comprise the entire union of all the tasks. just thinking out loud here...
