My goal is to develop my own list, put it in a basic shell script and remove them wholesale. I've done this for generally unused services which I run upon installation of a basic system, and it works well.

Why don't you go the other way around: Create a kickstart file with only the exact packages you need?

E.g. -- snip --

%packages --excludedocs --nobase screen vim-enhanced wget postfix vixie-cron

Above example will give you a minimal system with 5 extra packages. You can do a lot more with kickstart. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart for full documentation.
