The goal was to turn on persistent groups in yum, so if you install the
gnome-desktop group, then on upgrade, it upgrades to the current definition
of that group. It's worth testing why this isn't working - I mentioned that
fedup doesn't use yum, but it *does* use it to determine what to download,
so it should be working there.
