The only reason for openmotif not being dropped immediately is not break

be dropped long term. No hypocrisy there.
But what is the POINT? We aren't going to be touching openmotif at all, only
dropping it, so moving it to Extras makes NO SENSE. Moving the things that
depend on it over so that they can be made to work with lesstif makes some
sense, for those things that we no longer need in core, but moving openmotif
just to move it is silly. If we're going to touch openmotif, we're going to
remove it. period. There is ZERO gain to importing it into Extras. ZERO.
I am repeating myself here but the point is that we never had libraries
in Fedora Core without applications dependent on them and since we are
moving the dependencies I dont see any reason for openmotif to be a
exception and stay in Fedora Core. Again the alternative is to drop
openmotif and all its dependencies in both Fedora Core and Fedora Extras
immediately and fix applications to work with lesstif and import them
back again. Think of it and make a decision either way.
