Couldn't this be managed by rpmfusion using a comps file, and grouping various packages with "DVD support," "MP3 support," or whatnot? `yum groupinstall "DVD Support"`...
I think that's the best suggestion on how to balance packaging versus usability, so far ...
FYI for Livna I tried something else, but it didn't work out. I just used the same groups as Fedora in Livna (as Fedora Extras did in the past for Core as well) and made some crucial packages 'type="default"' -- for example gstreamer-plugins-ugly for the "GNOME Desktop Environment" . I assumed anaconda would then install gstreamer-plugins-ugly by default as "GNOME Desktop Environment" is selected by default. But anaconda/pirut did not do that (and I assume it still don't).
I think they should (I filed a bug, but it got closed iirc), as that way would be the cleanest for a 3rd party repo to get the right packages (e.g. depending on the groups they selected) to the users.
