You ask only half a question. Just as important if not more important at this point is criteria for moving packages out of Core and into Extras. From the discussion I've seen, there is a significant pressure to keep Core from bloating into the 5+ disks. In fact i think moving to 4 disks has probably raised some subconcious red alerts. I think there needs to be a target Core distribution size set, then criteria for pushing packages out of Core into Extras to get Core down belong that target size...then we can talk about criteria for nominating packages for Core, that goes beyond the very inefficient package by package case by case discussion that sort of has to happen now. -jef
