Are there are packages in these profiles which shouldnt be there? Are 
there packages in the Fedora Core which fits into these profiles but are 
not there?. If these cases are common then they need to be added there. 
If they are unusual you can use kickstart.

Yes it requires more work addressing these profiles and tuning. Perhaps 
you can help in that using the comps work related bugzilla reports 
pointed out earlier. Anaconda lists might be a good place if its require 
a large amount of discussions.
