Which ones?

What are you using your system for?. Is it a 
desktop/workstation/server/development system?. Doesnt it fit into one 
of these profiles?

You cant work with them using the current tools provided anyway. Thats 
what we are trying to fix already. If you dont use yum to keep yourself 
updated installing everything is dangareous since it brings in potential 
security issues with packages you wouldnt even use.

You waste disk space by installing packages you wouldnt use. You will to 
keep packages updated. Performance would do down with deamons and other 
session programs. You would be installing tons of world languages which 
you wouldnt be using and so on.
