To be hones, I didn't check dependencies, so it is possible that another
YaST module needs them, e.g., for some global functionality shared
between nfs-server and nfs-client.

Functionality (features) stands before required space for installation
and number of packages needed. Actually, these packages are not so big.

I've proposed to move them to 'recommended' selection (and also to
another 'default-server selection') if there is a need to drastically
decrease the number of packages in a default installation.
