We currently include the following packages in the default server
install:
* lm_sensors
* openhpi
* smp_utils
Of these packages, lm_sensors pulls in 33MB of dependencies (mostly
PERL, including the PERL interpreter). I'm not personally sure if
there's sufficient value in lm_sensors to justify installing it by
default. (Pulling in an entire language interpreter just to support
this one package seems like overkill).
openhpi and smp_utils are far more self-contained. openhpi pulls in
net-snmp-libs and libsysfs, while smp_utils doesn't have any
additional deps that aren't already part of the basic system.
I would drop openhpi from the general purpose server groups completely.
I've learned that it is used mainly in telco deployments, which is a
very specific use case.

That said, I'd like to know what people think about moving the
@server-hardware-support group out of the mandatory install set and
into the optional install set. All together, we're looking at about
43MB of on-disk usage for these three packages and their dependencies
(above the packages in the minimal install).
