How much if this is an artifact of the compose being designed around trying
to pack subsets of installable media onto a DVD? Do we currently do that for
anything but Server, and is it really important that we continue?
Given the lack of individual package selection in Anaconda, this would mean
that optional package inclusions there are solely for:
- kickstarting off the DVD
- using the DVD as a post-install locally mounted package source
There may be people doing the first. I'd have to think there are better ways
to handle the second.
