Well, we could have a comps file that defines groups like...

But that's a fairly large shift in design.

There is a question how far to go, however, I think one could not argue that the base group's description "This group includes a minimal set of packages." is not really accurate.

We could alternatively say that desktop doesn't include @base, and just rely on explicit dependencies.  But that would need case by case evaluation; prelink and pm-utils are obvious things we want.
