If you dislike some part > of Extras, then just don't use it. http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/terminology.html disagrees with you on that point (along with me, not that it would matter that much ;-): """ Packages in Fedora Extras must be built entirely from software meeting the open source guidelines; [...] """ I personally like being able to use both Core and Extras repositories and being sure that it's only open source software (by whatever definition of what open source constitutes). Putting non-free stuff into a different repository isn't that much of a hassle and is only courteous to the people who care about this issue.
