Hm, the scope expansion happened rather quickly.

Can we, for now, restrict ourselves to things that an "ordinary
sysadmin" would encounter?  That would, right now, mean anaconda-based
or image-based installations of full systems.

Anyone running custom scripts to create container chroots, or building
hypervisor images where post-install files are removed from the
system, is more of a programmer and therefore less reliant on us
choosing a good default for the @core/@standard comps groups.
