Anyway, wouldn't this break "binary compatibility with upstream"?
Agreed - it is something that upstream should provide too. Or at least a yum group or list of packages in a form that yum would understand to install them later.
So the interesting thing about that is - that no, it wont break upstream compatibility; since the groups that are put in are done by us - remember that upstream has varients that we dont, and their process and policy around those varients depends on various non technical factors ( eg. how much money you paid for the subscription that in turn got you the install media ).
Is it possible to create yum groups that overlap with other groups? So we/they/whoever could add several selected groups. This means that one package could be in several groups.
