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

One more reason for us then to make sure everything a user might want to 
select is in comps.xml, isn't it?

/me looks at rawhide and finds 0.3.2

/me grabs 0.3.3 straight from koji

/me fails to get it to work on F9 (likely my faul) :-/

Hmm. From the screenshot it's hard to see if gpk-application exports the 
package groups from comps.xml similar to how pirut/anaconda do. But 
seems to be different, which would be a important detail for the 
decision how to maintain the comps.xml in Fedora...
