What about doing support ISO(s) for the spin?  For example, you might
have kde-desktop and kde-software-development, (etc, etc) in "F7 KDE CD
1: Desktop". Then, you might have "F7 KDE CD 2: Extra Applications" for
firefox, evolution, etc.  Finally, you might have "F7 KDE CD 3:
Development Libraries" with all the -devel packages.

CD 3 doesn't need to depend on anything in CD 2, so you'd only need all
three CDs if you want to install the extra applications AND the -devel
packages.

I don't know what it would take to make this work, but IIRC, early
RedHat distributions used to do something like this (or maybe it was
just having SRPMS on different CDs).
