For grins, try to remove "cdrecord" on a fedora system. If I have no CDRW drive, you'd think I could live without it, but the dependencies say it also has to remove lots of bits of gnome and even decides it has to remove compiz (I was trying to get rid of excess baggage in a Xen guest OS when I discovered this one). Bet you never expected CD recording software was required to make your windows wiggle :-).
