Here is out current minimal kickstart package list. We use this as the basics to get a box installable from the ground up with everything else needed afterwords. There is still a lot of bike-shedding here: (postfix vs sendmail, remove prelink, biosdevname, etc) but it comes out to about 353 packages and a disk usage of 888 MB. Ansible and yum gets the rest for us.

Stephen, thanks for sharing! In my opinion I'd say "minimal" doesn't need things like: mailx, nfs-utils, patch, rsync, screen, telnet, traceroute, strace, tmux. vim-enhanced I personally would like to include, but it's not really minimal.
Just throwing that out there for discussion. I don't have a strong disagreement with your list -- although 888M does seem to be getting kind of large. I wonder what size Wolfy has stuff down to? :)
