Moving it to default in @system-tools seems fine to me as a first step.
However, that's not in the 'default' install (but it would place it on
the install media.) If it's wanted in the default install, the @base
group is the best place for it (it doesn't belong in @core.)

>From a size perspective, it's not a huge deal - 500k with no deps that
aren't already in @core. From a functionality perspective, it would be
good to fix the issues it has with disconnected machines, etc. - I've
always removed it personally because the times where it  would annoy me 
would always weigh higher than the times where it helped.
