[rhelv6-list] Fewer dependencies

Folks, 

One thing I've noticed is the reduced number of dependencies in RHEL 6
RPM packages. For example, the following command:

yum install system-config-printer-* 

does --not-- install the CUPS service as a dependency.

More interesting -- in my installation tests (from memory), the
selection of the Desktop package group does --not-- install the X Window
System package group.

I wonder if that's by design.

Thanks,
Mike
