"boot" packagegroup is usually used to list mandatory components required to boot the target.
"base" is where you list a minimal set of additional components that are often useful, but the target can still boot without. And one can argue that performance util like irqbalance doesn't fit either of the above. While is probably fine to be included in all default images except tiny. Come to think of it, "addons" was a perfect place for it...
