I can't actually find or recall such a policy. I looked, but the last I
could find was a 2009 conversation which ended in the comps format being
rewritten, which solved the specific problem without answering the general
question.

We certainly do have some "meta-packages" like that -- for example from the
top of my head, xorg-x11-drivers, and good 'ol redhat-lsb. Your idea seems
to fit along the same lines as redhat-lsb.

If we do this, does the %packages list for the spin just become that one
file?
