Why can't ethereal just > become one of them? :) If there are comparable tools in fedora.us (or any other repo for that matter), they should become Core, not vice-versa ;) This brings up a good question, that has been floating around since last year. What defines whether a package gets into Core? Yes, we all know the blueprint definitions at fedora.redhat.com, but obviously reality has diverged. And the only thing that is really being said, is that they should augment FC but not replace any packages. What is really the criterion/policy for deciding to add to Core (and thus the CD/DVD distribution) or not? -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
