This discussion is turning a bit absurd, imo. Just because a package is lifted out of Core doesn't mean it will vanish from the face of the earth. You can still install it from Extras if you need it.
I think what some people is discussing here is not the fact that some packages will end up in Core or Extras repository: it's the fact that Anaconda installer should allow to install packages from the Extras repository easily and automatically, if told so, as it is able to install packages from the Core repository.
Particularly, I don't mind if KDE, XFCE or whatever ends up in the Extras repository, but I want to be able to install Fedora Core 4 and install packages from both Core and Extras in a single pass, during the installation process. Also, I do want packages in the Extras repository to be maintained and be bound to the same QA process as Core packages.
