I think a lot of people install yum groups.  It is a pretty useful
functionality IMO.

If meta-packages become a viable replacement for comps then we can
seriously discuss removing comps.
Once comps became full of meta-packages then then job would be mostly done.
But I think more analysis of the meta-package approach is needed since
I believe it also has known downsides.
