I agree.  There are 3 levels of inclusion to a group, such as minimal 
(which I assume is made up of @ Core and @ Base).

There is <manditory> where it cannot be removed from the installation, 
<default> where it can be removed, but is included by default, and 
<optional> where it is part of the group, and can be included, but is 
not included by default.

SSH/krb I believe should be <default>.
