Group removals are dangerous. Groups can share packages between
them.
Perhaps somebody should submit a patch to yum that gives groupremove
a
flag that says don't remove any package that is listed in any other
group.
Maybe just a confirmation (i.e:
"The following packages are also listed in other groups:
superpackage -- awesomegroup, importantgroup
uselesspackage -- evilgroup
Are you sure you want to remove them? (Y/N)"
?
