Some of that choice - KDE/Gnome/other - is today made even before you
choose groups of software.  I still think the grouping should be mostly
about the role the system is intended for, but obviously the type of
desktop is important.  The other choices you have listed - windowmaker,
xfce, fvwm, etc - are probably less often used, and whilst the
grouping/software config must be flexible, we also have to draw a line.
The grouping is after all a compromise between a completely default
install without options, and the other extreme of having to select all
packages yourself :-)
