Well, I have noticed you can easily do a "yum install metapackage"
to install the junk, but when you decide you don't want it, a
"yum erase metapackage" will only get rid of the empty metapackage
(since the dependencies only go one way). That can certainly be
confusing and may have something to do with the frowning :-).
