Would it make sense to have build compute or update planetlab.xml ?

I'd rather use the new .pkgs files instead, so my questions are

* would it make sense to move the current PlanetLab group from 
planetlab.xml into bootstrapfs.pkgs - and to generate planetlab.xml from 
that
currently bootstrapfs references the PlanetLab group + it mentions a few 
utilities
my understanding is that this yum group is only used so the node can 
update itself with yum groupupdate PlanetLab ..

* if so, we could do the same from other .pkgs files and define a full 
set of yumgroups in planetlab.xml

* finally, there are two more groups in the planetlab.xml. they could be 
defined from other .pkgs (group-alpha.pkgs) - or dropped altogether, if 
that makes sense

Thoughts, comments, or even better, answers ?
