I've found it much simpler to install everything, even when doing a
kickstart, and then have the kickstart remove the handful of
"undesirable" packages after the fact then waste time constantly
tweaking the list of installed packages when some developer wants
something.  

It makes the default answer to any questions "if it isn't there it
didn't come with the OS."

A better question would be why does mailman do "things" even when
there are no lists to do it to?
