Speaking of changes to comps for the desktop I think it would be worthwhile breaking down the hardware support group into a couple of groups. I was thinking something along the lines of Servers (for iSCSI/FCoE/FCA etc), Desktop/Laptop (For wifi etc), Printing and possibly "other". Things like printers for example with the new auto printer support shouldn't need to be installed by default, you don't want server stuff on a netbook and generally wouldn't need wifi firmwares on a server.
That makes sense, yes. I think it'd be good to at least have an explicit "server stuff" group. I wanted to call it @traditional-unix-server for stuff like smartmontools and iscsi, but other naming suggestions welcomed.

Honestly, I could see exploding it into a variety of smaller, more focused groups. Perhaps I'll whip up a proposal based on some comps files I have lying around here.
