Cool, but that's not a problem for making the experience consistent:
just do it in comps instead, put them in an option group.

Since the current framing of the proposal seems to be blocking on
fedora-next, can I do some judo and make the proposal "Let's decide on a
coherent GNOME package set and define that in comps instead of in the
spin kickstart" instead? If there's something desktop really really
wants that can't be done in comps - dropping stuff that's in @default ,
or something - then that will have to stay in the kickstart, but I think
we could move stuff like the above into comps.
