firewalld has been in base for F-18 alpha and now is in standard group 
after rework of the package groups. anaconda pulls it in directly to be 
able to configure the firewall.

The firewall server only needs GLib, GObject and Gio from pygobject3, so 
if cairo support could be sub-packaged in pygobject3, we have a small 
requirement list:

+dbus-python
+ebtables
+firewalld
+gobject-introspection
+libselinux-python
+pygobject2
+pygobject3
+python-decorator
+python-slip
+python-slip-dbus

pygobject2 is needed by python-slip, maybe we can get rid of this. 
gobject and gi.repository.GObject are exchangeable. I do not know about 
the libselinux-python requirement, but the package is fairly small.

Would this requirement set be ok?
