The point is, people can classify properly packages, and apps choose to show more or less groups depending on the target audience. For example repoview will typically show all groups, anaconda the most important ones, yum something in between > You're going to still have to answer the > question at review time, Actually one of the big arguments of the comps vs rpm group crowd was that comps classification could happen at a different level than the packaging. If we want to bolt compsifying so hard to packages at review time, I don't see the point of choosing an out-of-package metadata format > Adding it into comps into a hidden view just is one more > complicated step, makes comps generation time that much longer, and provides > no improvement to end users.

Well your tool only needs to learn selecting a group subset, which you'll have to anyway, as the Fedora universe is quickly moving out of single-disc space. -- Nicolas Mailhot
