Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to offer a side trip with
this thread.  What do people need/want in RHEL6?
I'd love it if RH could work out some of the little things that people have complained about - like why does a default install insist on installing things that are completely unnecessary. I have a kickstart file where I've had to explicitly exclude about 50 or 60 things that would otherwise be installed. Dependency hell maybe but many of these just seem to appear from nowhere...

How many servers have bluetooth? But it gets installed anyway. Ditto PCMCIA cards? And ISDN connections?

Here's my exclude list...
