When? As soon as people in the community who care make a real effort
to rework the comps.xml file.  This subject comes up again and again
on the mailinglists. I suggest you take a look back into the
mailinglist archives, all the way back to pre-fedora core 1
discussions.  Let me give you my personal summary where things stand:
1) everyone sort of agrees this is not a bad idea
2) red hat employees have said this is a low priority for them, but if
people in the community want to work together to clean up the comps
groupings and produce a smaller minimal install  feel free to start
working on it.
3)pre-fc1 there was some discussion on the mailinglist between
community members about what to do about it...and then they wandered
off never to be heard from again.
