 groups can own N packages, installed packages can only be part of a
single installed group. Changing this is non-trivial. As Jan said we
could look at something like "repo-pkgs remove-or-sync" but for groups
(we'd need groups as objects first though, and my guess is that's it's
much less useful than the repo-pkgs command).

 I wrote something on the yum.wiki today which will hopefully explain
this and other questions:
