That doesn't persuade me why a virus scanner (it's not an anti-virus!)
should be a core component and not an optional add-on. Where Clamav is
installed on a server to shield client systems which run that "other OS"
from receiving virus-infected messages, this sounds as if it has a special
target group, and hence an add-on is the right solution.
that serves either mail or file services to clients... Just like
spamassassin is included in the core!
Well, SPAM is a platform independent problem. It makes sense to protect
client/desktop end-user systems as well as servers from SPAM.
Also, until the "extras" goes "live" for real, I
(perhaps out of
ignorance) don't feel that confident (please
comment on this) with the fedora.us packages as the
download.fedora.com
ones?!?
I can't comment on such a point of view because I don't understand
it. Maybe you can explain a bit more what doesn't make you feel
"confident". Maybe you have false expectations with regard to what
a fully official Fedora Extras will offer.
