ISTR that we were populating the mock buildroot by installing a

last year that you'd like to go *back* to using comps.xml and
groupinstall?
I'm pretty sure that around this time comps format was changing, and it had to
be managed outside the Fedora comps. Now I'm talking about doing it within
Fedora comps so that most users don't have to mess with it at all, and things
like yum are much more stable with comps. We can't introduce comps changes
that yum can't cope with (which may mean bumping yum, but that's fine)
