Are you thinking of making this change for 2013.2, or is it for future releases? Fedora might be the only Linux distro that currently uses the large HP source tarball, but basically the build only depends on the "platform.packages" file and package source dirs. However I am kind of regretting this decision and thinking to move back to individual source packages again eventually (in which case the Bare case would be fine) - though it is nice not having to worry about adding new packages to the distro... Anyway if there are no new build dependencies then I am not really worried by the Programmatic (shake) approach. A while back I couldn't get the current Scripted approach to dynlink the shared HP libs IIRC.
