Okay, as I figured.  In the future, "entire" (or whatever it'll be called)
will be managed by the distro maintainer (RE?), and will probably need to
have some mechanism for including packages that are part of multiple
consolidations, which is most of what's going on here.  Forcing a
consolidation tag onto a package in that case seems like a shoehorn
solution to me.

Perhaps consolidation isn't really the right term here - in some sense,
it's a sub-publisher or something like that who owns the definition of
these group packages.  The closest thing we have to that right now is
the consolidation it seems.

That said, all this will change again in the future, so if it makes life
significantly easier now, go ahead.

The change itself looks fine, FWIW.  The slim and babel clusters might
belong to the install consolidation instead, but it doesn't really matter
much, IMHO.

I thought about that as well or perhaps inventing yet another
consolidation but given both "ips" and "install" will eventually be
moved into "osnet", I didn't want to do the latter.  I'm OK with these
being "install" instead if there is a consensus around that.
