I can't seem to really figure out your answer, so I guess I'll just make some testing on the behavior ;-) I've started relying heavily on groups for a very simple task : "yum groupinstall Base Core" pulls in all the packages added to the base system that are missing after a "yum upgrade" from a distribution to another. Think selinux policy files, acl stuff etc. _very_ convenient, I find.
