So, what about creating groups for the various desktop
environments which pull in basesystem + xorg + mesa drivers +
displaymanager + bare desktop shell?
Do the groups already provided in comps.xml[1] not work for this task?
Well, those groups are not exactly minimal.
We already have one set of minimal desktop functionality defined by the
critical path groups. There are groups for GNOME, KDE, LXDE, XFCE. I am
not sure how much they cover for other desktops, but the GNOME critical
path group should (hopefully) be enough to bring up a minimal Shell.

To make an example:
gnome3: "Minimal Install" + mesa-dri-drivers xorg-x11-server-Xorg
xorg-x11-drivers gnome-session-xsession gnome-shell telepathy-logger
(and possibly control-center)
Does this work for you well enough?
# yum install @critical-path-gnome
The gnome one is close, the kde one not: critpath contains kdelibs and
kdm, but a minimal set would rather look like
base + xorg + mesa + kdm kde-workspace dejavu-sans-fonts
dejavu-sans-mono-fonts
(here it might be a good idea to have the dejavu-sans-fonts as
dependencies of kdm / kde-workspace?)
Anyway, to draw a conclusion from this discussion, I guess that having a
consistent way (read: consistent package / group name) of installing a
minimal shell of Desktop Environment XY is not something many people
miss, so for the interested I could post my minimal lists I've put
together so far on a wiki page.
(FWIW, I guess telepathy-logger should be a dependency of gnome-shell)
I'll look into adding the telepathy-logger dep to gnome-shell. I guess
something should have a dep on gnome-session-xsession as well, possibly
also gnome-shell.
Thanks!
Hope this helps,
Kalev
