I don't think it can work like that.

The problem with fedora-devel-list is that the 0.01% of most technical
users are there, most unable to understand that normal people don't use
an smtp server or setup nfs.
If we include everything we've ever started by default in the future

to get longer, and our base install bigger.
Design by committee just doesn't work.
