The real problem comes with how to do media based upgrades cleanly in a Core/Extras/Alternatives world. And if people are serious about making Core smaller, and moving things into Extras it makes it that much more difficult to rationalize the idea that "most" people won't be using extras on their systems. The reality is...IF Core shrinks having a media based upgrade path that works with Extras media as well as Core is going to be more important. If anaconda can be made to cleanly deal with Core/Extras upgrade paths(at a minimum...forget for a second Alternatives and 3rd parties) then anaconda should just lose upgrade ability completely and we should deem another solution as the upgrade path. Moving forward..in a smaller Core scenario dealing with Extras during upgrades cleanly is something a expect a lot of the unwashed userbase are going to need. -jef
