There was some talk a while back on this list about trimming down the list of screensavers included in Fedora Core. By my count, there are 177 screensavers included (let me know if I've got some installed from somewhere else or something, but I don't think so).
I've gone through the list and tried take a shot at identifying which screensavers should stay in Core and which should go.
I tagged each screensaver as wither Ok (it should stay), Drop (let's lose it), and Kill (once that should really go).
First, the "Ok" list - these screensavers all seemed pretty professional and I think would be an ok default set.

Next, the "Kill" list - these ones seemed unprofessional or just plain wacky enough to drop alltogether:

Finally, the rest of then, my "drop" list, I didn't think were worthy of being included by default, but could live in an Extras package:

Thoughts? Comments?
I love them screensavers, and I wouldn't want them to be decreased. I love the diversity of them. Any time I look at my screen there's somethign different. Especially since almost anybody these days has a capable pc. At the office I use a P3-800 with GeForce 256 @ 1600x1200, which is capable enough for most screensavers.
Really, don't remove any of them.
