I'd like
to chop the -drivers metapackage down to just this set, and either make
a new metapackage in optional for -drivers-retrocomputing or simply list
all the drivers there individually. Note that since we're keeping
drivers for fbdev and vesa we should still get graphics on most devices
even if the user doesn't explicitly ask for a native driver.
So that's the rough plan. Comments appreciated if I'm overlooking
anything.
Well, the less intrusive alternative is just to make graphics drivers a
comps group rather than using a metapackage. Metapackages are generally
'frowned upon' in Fedora anyway, and you're supposed to do stuff with
comps groups. Doing it that way would remove the critical path
implications; we could then just add the important drivers to critpath
individually.
