<default> for the group has no bearing on the installer now with
the introduction of environments for installation in F18, so it's
unilaterally set to false.
<uservisible> is only used in determining global option groups that
can be added to installation environment choices during anaconda, and
by post-install tools. For groups like this, that's not the best
usage, IMO, especially when they're already listed as explicit options
to the installation environments.

The default-included development libraries in the developer-workstation
environment are intended to be the ones used by major desktops & common
open source programs. I don't think that open-vm-tools-devel fits into
this category, and it's expected that C/C++ developers will likely have
to install more esoteric libraries afterwards.
