+No. the install will only install task-<desktop> or  task-<desktop>-minimal.
+If you remove  task-<desktop>, well you shoot yourself in foot, too bad for
+you.
+
+Remember that this discussion obviously manually removed basesystem
+since rpmdrake refuses to remove it for safety.
+We cannot prevent that unless we don't provide rpm so that people
+cannot shoot theirself in the foot.
+
+If people get bit because they're removing task-* or basesystem, then
+we'd better enhance the description of those packages so that people
+don't try blindly to remove them.
+
+That would be the real bug.
+
+Something like "if you remove this package, you'll lost your desktop/games/
+devel tools/..."
+We could even make rpmdrake popup big red warnings when trying
+to remove a task-XXXX package.
+
+See you
