Sure, it would be best.
But we cannot handle everything at every level.
There're many hidden dependancy that will broke.

Eg: if you do a minimal install with just basesystem, then install some
random GUI package, you'll got caught in strange bugs due to having
no font, ...
Which is usually installed by task-x11 which got installed though rpmsrate.
We won't make every GUI package depends on task-x11 however.

And there'll be a lot of other hidden dependancies and the like.
