But then, if we had _that_, comps could grow a fourth class for "as-needed" and we'd just list all driver packages there, including cups and webcam drivers and etc. Install image creation would pull them all in; anaconda would filter the available as-needed's based on target hardware.
In that scenario you'd still need to do manual selection of some driver packages for critpathness, but, okay.
With this approach, you have lost a critical feature: the ability for you to change your hardware (or move the software bits to a different computer) and have everything automatically work.
Assuming pk actually had this feature, the next time you booted pk would happily tell you about what driver you're missing.
*If* it booted to a sane state where pk could tell you this, then yes I agree.
