My selection is loosely based on what depends on what. At least that's
the idea. It isn't about being important or not. And it is not depending
in the sense of rpm dependencies, but in the sense of needing the 
functionalities provided by the set of packages.

I don't know if it is a strong reason, but it seems to me that there are
packages that need to be frozen because most of the other packages
depend on them, and I propose a heuristic to select them, while it seems
to me that, for other packages, testing fixes is the priority since it
is less likely that other packages depend on them.

Put it otherwise, the frozen set is the set of packages that should be
frozen to be able to test against them, while the other are tested
against the frozen packages. Of course there is no evident way to choose
the set, I propose to use some comps groups, but I perfectly understand
that it may be a bad choice.
