Telnet client is invaluable, server maybe not so much. Legacy Cisco
equipment and other networking gear makes some of the stuff useful but
when it comes to it none of it is enabled by default and its not like
they take up tens of megabytes on the installer CDs.
Also, for both telnet and rsh, the client and server come from the same
source tarball/SRPM. The telnet-server RPM is 36K and the rsh-server
RPM is 40K; what are you trying to save by dropping them? Packaging
either server for Extras would just take the same SRPM and build only
the server and not the client (while Core would use the same SRPM and
build only the client).
