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

 But that's not how groupinstall/groupremove works! Groups are _very_
different from meta-packages, for instance:

yum shell <<EOL
install @x-software-development
remove libXaw-devel
run
EOL

...at the end of this the 'X Software Development' group is not
installed.
 Why doesn't PK make it's "categories" the same as the yum backends
"groups"? I can't even see how to install the above group in PK.

 But then 0.3.2 is still doing utterly broken direct SQL calls, and
failing *sigh*.
