Well, I think the whole 'exclude this set of pkgs b/c they're
kinda-sorta-this-groups' thing to be pretty nonsensical. Spot asked me
for a way to solve the requested need for the users which is what
exclude-by-rpm-group or exclude-by-vendor or exclude-by-provides or
exclude-by-other-arbitrary-tag is about.

But I don't have a dog in this fight. If you don't like the plugin,
that's fine, propose another solution and I'll see what I can do.
