 True, but I doubt that's more common than the repos. changing the
comps. info to add something to a group.

 *nods*, on my F-14 VM (which is pretty default, I think). I have:

# 1247 package names, 332 Leafs, 90 leftovers, 135 lines

...which is about the same as my desktop (~50%) which is nice but still
too big to be very useful, I think. I was hoping it'd output something
in the 50 lines range. I wonder if we could use smolt data to create
some more groups?
 I expected my minimal RHEL-5 server to be almost entirely a couple of
groups :(.

 IMO you want to compare against the Leafs number, not the package names
number, so it's 53% (which is still worthwhile, but...).
