Please... let's keep the real UNIX power in Fedora Core and not only
focus on the GUI-tools (and I hope Red Hat will do the same for
RHEL).
I'm continually baffled by the resistance to move things into Extras.
As a user, why should it matter to you? When you run pup or pirut, can
you really tell what comes from Extras and what comes from Core? As a
developer, this would give you more access to help the development of
said component. How can this be a bad thing? Once we get to the point
where we spin ISO sets that are Core and Extras packages to complete a
theme or goal (Fedora Desktop, Fedora Web Server, Fedora Development,
etc..) then does it _really_ matter if its in Core or Extras? This is
why I said "yet" as we need to get to where "shipped" isos have the
content necessary for that goal of theme.
Please, do let me know why there is resistance.
