I think that's a very good idea - weekly perhaps? And not just for 
development but fc4 (or whatever is supported at the time) as well, see 
below.

Urgh. That's somewhat problematic, since comps doesn't exist in any 
repository but get's normally installed by anaconda from base/comps.rpm. 
To "fix" it either comps would need to be available somewhere else as well 
(not really an option I guess), or that dependency should be dropped, 
groupinstall will exit cleanly with error if it's not there.

What's more worrisome than extras-devel having broken dependencies is that 
we have them in fc4-extras as well (at least on x86_64):
[pmatilai at weasel yum-utils]$ python repoclosure.py -r base -r extras
Reading in repository metadata - please wait....
