no! NO NONO! bad kenvandine! ;-)

step one: create your own group-dist and r.addAll('group-dist',
'foresight.rpath.org at fl:1', flatten=True)

step two: modify from there

this has two benifits. first, it *vastly* reduces cook time. it takes about 45
minutes to cook foresight groups. it takes me 1-2 to cook my foresight-derived
groups. secondly, it is more consistent. for example, if someone commits a
broken package to fl:1, you're not suck with it.
