Hmmm....  You know, you could also list packages you want to exclude in 
%packages section by prepending them with dash.  Something like

%packages --nobase
-apmd
-atk
-bluez

... etc ...

The only downside is, if package is required by something else that gets 
installed, it will be reincluded (while yum method will also remove the 
dependency).
