okay this is insane. This is a server install. Let's have a

almost nothing.
A server install should be @Core, openssh-server, yum and that's pretty
much it.
Enough to get networking up and nothing else. After that the admin can
install the components they need for the service the server will provide
and be done with it.
The thing we are missing is some sort of agreement on what the server
spin should be: I think everybody agrees that the minimal install you
describe should be possible. The question is: what does the admin do
afterwards ? If they install whatever they need over the newtwork why
bother with a server spin to begin with ? We can just fiddle with @core
a little and give them a kickstart file that produces the minimal
install.
But what about a customized comps file ? Is that desirable for a server
spin ? Absolutely; and to arrive at that we do need to talk about
including TurboGears and lots of other packages that people use on their
servers.
