some curious FC5 install defaults

  a few questions about some of the default package selections during
FC5 installation:

* when selecting KDE, the only one of the 11 packages *not*
automatically selected for install is "kdeadmin."  that seems a bit
odd -- one would think that would be at least as useful as some of the
others that are selected by default.

* when both GNOME and KDE desktops are selected, gnome-games are
automatically selected but kdegames are not.  just a wee bit of bias
here? :-)

* i'm surprised "xpdf" is not automatically selected as part of
Office/Productivity since it's a pretty fundamental piece of software.
has it been superseded by something else?

* under "Development Tools", i would have thought both dejagnu and
expect would be reasonable choices for default installation.
