Hm - perhaps that is only really working in RHEL?

In Fedora, there don't seem to be any 'platform-foo' groups in comps, and
there's a guest-desktop-agents group which is included in all the desktop
environment groups and pulls in all the agents.

So I guess there's room for improvement there? We could implement the
platform-* groups for anaconda installs, then not include the 'all
agents' group in the desktop environment groups, but instead pull it in
via kickstarts for the live image cases (and any other cases where
anaconda can't intelligently pull in just the correct group)?
