Yes, it makes it easier to make mistakes if people assume that these
commands affect all critical path updates:

yum groupinfo -v critical-path\*
yum --filter-groups=critical-path\* (requires yum-filter-data plugin)

Which people do, because these commands have been posted on this list
and nobody objected that the group core is missing. Also with the group
core, the command line for the second comamnd will become nearly twice
as long and everything is more complicated for everyone everytime
instead of the few times the comps groups are edited.
