Absolutely true, thats why i said those errors are really just for 
completeness as real installations always have to install those 
components. The other errors though like chkconfig and the other prereqs 
on the other hand are "real" errors in the sense that chkconfig isn't 
anywhere to be found in comps.xml and only gets pulled in if it's really 
required.
