This could just as easily go in the "Group:" tag, and not complicate the

Unfortunately not. We've tried, remember? There were some
bugs/limitations in rpm and yum that prevented us to use it
(don't ask me to remember the details after so long, but it is in the
archives). Over those 3 months we tried _everything_ in existance util
we all concluded that we needed the new tag.
