I also really like the idea, because I just recently had this issue. I got
a bug report, that one of my packages was not working properly under Gnome,
but I didn't want to install the whole Gnome Desktop group, because this
would be a real overkill for just checking the functionality of a program
on a different desktop.
So yes, I definitely would love more minimal desktop groups without all the
apps, for which I most probably already have working alternatives.
