I'm also a bit disappointed to see xfce dropped... FC is now short of a
powerful but light desktop manager and still has two huge heavyweight ones.

I saw bzflag and tuxracer got removed too, which means that there is not a
single nifty 3D game left to show off hardware acceleration right after
install. Well, there's the sproingies screensaver, but the interaction is
quite limited ;-)
I'd love to see at least one 3D game left in. My personal preference would
go for neverball and neverputt... but they're even bigger than tuxracer and
bzflag, so I doubt that'll happen.

I do volunteer to take back bzflag for maintainership in Extras.
