So, what about creating groups for the various desktop environments which pull in basesystem + xorg + mesa drivers + displaymanager + bare desktop shell?

Do the groups already provided in comps.xml[1] not work for this task?

Currently, one can use yum's groupinstall option to install the gnome, kde, xfce, lxde, mate, and cinnamon desktops and desktop environments.

Well, those groups are not exactly minimal.
I also really like the idea, because I just recently had this issue. I got a bug report, that one of my packages was not working properly under Gnome, but I didn't want to install the whole Gnome Desktop group, because this would be a real overkill for just checking the functionality of a program on a different desktop.
So yes, I definitely would love more minimal desktop groups without all the apps, for which I most probably already have working alternatives.
