I still don't see how sane-backends-libs would be useful to list there even 
with RPM Fusion enabled.

And again, -1 to plasma-scriptengine-python, it has absolutely no business 
being in the minimal KDE workspace install set.

I could accept putting it in an optional "KDE Plasma Workspace Addons" 
subgroup along with kdeplasma-addons, but IMHO a script engine should not be 
listed in comps at all. It should be a dependency of whatever package 
requires it. If you install a plasmoid through "Add new widget…" (GHNS), 
starting from Fedora 17, you now get automatically prompted to install the 
script engine if it isn't installed yet. See:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Plasma_PackageKit_Integration
So there is no need whatsoever to install the script engine by default.

So I disagree about k3b and kde-partitionmanager being part of the necessary 
minimum. K3b is useless on a machine with no CD/DVD burner (e.g. a netbook 
or a tablet). kde-partitionmanager is entirely useless for most users. That 
kind of packages belongs into "options" (subgroups). It may or may not make 
sense to enable those options by default.

As for system-config-firewall, that's not a KDE package at all and so IMHO 
entirely off topic here.

See the original post in this thread for how Anaconda will present groups in 
Fedora 18!
