Is there a place to suggest better dependencies for future builds of RH? I'm not sure which list / bug tracking system I should be putting this into.

For example,

the core group lists authconfig as a mandatory package.

authconfig requires rhpl, a package that contains python code used by other programs.

rhpl requires wireless-tools.

It was not this way in RH4. authconfig was part of core, but the RHPL package was not required by it, nor did the RHPL package require wireless-tools.

So in essence, every server I install into my datacenter with RH5 is going to have the wireless-tools package, a completely arbitrary and unnecessary package, unless I uninstall authconfig, rhpl and wireless-tools in the %post.
