And if micro catagorize across the whole package space to that extent
you will have hundreds of groups in a flat list. For all the tools
that are group aware, this is a untenable situation for UI.
You can't just think about repoview... you have to think about how
this is going to look in anaconda or s-c-packages (or whatever
replaces s-c-packages) as these tools present groups to users.  200
groups exposed during a yum enabled anaconda based install.. is not
going to be a good thing.
