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 ).
Lets say, its a bit of a grey area - we *could* have that as an option if people *really* wanted it. I suspect a yum install * in the %post of a ks.cfg would achieve about the same result.
