How important is comps.xml to us these days? Which packages should be in comps.xml and which not?

Kevin is right, it's mash that pulls comps out of cvs and 'makes' it and
uses it when generating repodata.  Mash is used during rawhide
production and during update repo generation.  When we make releases,
that uses pungi which consumes the comps data that mash generated and
merges in data from any other repo pungi is configured to use.  Then
pungi calls repoview to create data based on that merged comps.
