There are some brought in by dependancies, though. eg the recent F8
libvirtd update brings in iscsi-initiator-utils that run an iscsi daemon
on startup.
(The iscisd int script also runs:
chkconfig --level 06 network off
rm /etc/rc0.d/*network
rm /etc/rc6.d/*network
which may be useful in an iscsi setup, but less so for someone who just
wants a VM. It also can't/isn't removed if that package is removed, but
I guess that thats a separate bug....)
