Actually an unfortunate thing is that if you do go through and select 
EVERYTHING by hand and install it, I know from experience, you will get 
conflicting packages[1] installed and the rpm's are not setup to indicate 
conflicts.
specifically I know about:
A) rsyslog & syslog-ng
B) ccid|ifd-egate & ctapi-cyberjack-pcsc

It would be useful to have an "Everything that does not conflict" button though.

[1] conflicting in as much as, you get nothing in /var/log/messages with both 
syslog packages, and the ifd-cyberjack.bundle from ctapi-cyberjack-pcsc causes 
pcscd to peg at 100% CPU and fail to do ANYthing useful, if a reader for any 
of the other bundles is plugged in.
