We didn't exactly remove it - but changes in what goes on in anaconda
made it difficult to preserve. If you wanted to implement 'category'
support from the comps/groups file you'd find that does the groups of
groups that you want. The issue was that the distinction b/t groups and
categories is so subtle outside of how anaconda uses them to almost be
impossible for someone to discern how the commands would be different.

take a look at comps.xml
