Yes, and combinations of packages that have a high degree of
interoperability, such as GNOME or KDE.

The idea is to increase testing overall by including new groups that
wouldn't test otherwise.  Some of those are going to end up testing
installation and upgrades, thereby increasing the testing on those.

Would some people stop testing installation/upgrades all-together?  I
suppose so, but it's all guesswork at this point.  I guess that the
numbers will offset each other and end up growing testing of rawhide and
tests overall.
