dnf "no match for group package" on upgrade...

I'm seeing a number of people confused by this message, usually followed by
some actual transaction error.

I _think_ this is happening because these packages are in comps but do not
exist in the distro. Is this correct? I tried to search for it, but the
error message is _very_ common in ... well, people who are asking about it
because of what I said. (For example: https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/542877/2511)

I found https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1538346 but not much of
a general resolution. It does note that one issue is arch-specific
packages (which maybe just need "arch=..." in comps?).

I think we should:

1. Have a schedule standarded task to remove any packages listed but
   non-existent after branch from rawhide. (I assume a Rel-Eng task?)

2. Have DNF make this message less scary. Maybe even move down to a debug
   message and not show it by default — I am not seeing a situation where
   they're useful to _most_ end-users.

Anything I'm missing?
