And you can ship a desktop SPIN that way. But the base pkgs should
not install with an insecure set of choices.

if you want the spin to have a post-scriptlet which allows more
things, then that's the choice of the desktop sig over the desktop
spin.

Given how .pkla works, this is likely to be done with packages, not
with %post hackery. (Which should make it much easier to reliably
test, as well.)

provided those pkgs are not required anywhere or set in our default pkg groups, then sure.
