Historically the @core group did not have anything other than mandatory
packages as there was no UI to deselect them (because core was not a
visible group). Core is still not a visible group, but there appears to
be a few "default" packages in there now, NetworkManager, ppc64-utils,
and sendmail. I'm not sure of the backstory on this, but now you can -
those packages (provided nothing else requires them). More of @core
could be made this way, if that was desired for the kickstarters.
