i don't think it's broken at all. debian does something similar in that it 
groups packages into 'tasks', and you can decide at install time which tasks you 
want to install (database server, python development, documentation tools, X, 
workstation, etc.)

something similar might work for fc5, but imo fc5 need not comprise the entire 
union of all the tasks. just thinking out loud here...
