About system-config-firewall, system-config-firewall-base, k3b, kde-partitionmanager packages -- Sorry, maybe I confused the idea of installing the system on groups with the idea of installing the necessary (usually) a minimum packages.
So I disagree about k3b and kde-partitionmanager being part of the necessary minimum. K3b is useless on a machine with no CD/DVD burner (e.g. a netbook or a tablet). kde-partitionmanager is entirely useless for most users. That kind of packages belongs into "options" (subgroups). It may or may not make sense to enable those options by default.
I have to disagree on K3B. Writing a CD/DVD is a basic function and should be supported out of the box. It was a welcome addition when users could burn CDs on Windows without requiring any additional software. We're not aiming to include only those packages that are applicable on all possible hardware platforms, are we? In that case, things like bluetooth support should be left out since most desktops don't have them. I mean, why the unfair advantage for netbooks?

Maybe it`s need to create specific group -- @kde-disk-utilities with CD/DVD burn, kde-partitionmanager and other specific packages?
