The argument about a "noob" is pretty much moot as they're far more likely to be using the graphical interface as opposed to yum on the command line. And at that point, the comps file becomes even _more_ important as it's used for the entirety of the display.
OTHO, since any package is listed in just one category does not help so much users and I am not talking about new users only.
Something like trove would be interesting, after all world is not just black and white. :-)
The possible solution should be clearly a superset of comp files to avoid synchronisation problems...
One way to do it would be to use something like:
<group> ... <packagereq type="mandatory" index="primary">xxxx</packagereq> ... </group> ... <group> ... <packagereq type="optional" index="secondary">xxxx</packagereq> ... </group>
