OK, so:
- non-IIIMF input methods - they are now obsolete for a few releases
- mozilla (classic) - superseded by firefox, thunderbird, epiphany, etc
- XFCE - we already have GNOME and KDE
- Eclipse - it's just Too Big. Moreover, it won't cause the Upgrade problem (1)
- cfengine - it's not in use by Core packages, ergo, it makes sense for
Extras
- One of XEmacs/emacs. :)
- gpdf/ggv/gv/xpdf - superceded by evince
That's my opinion, anyway.

(1) The problem with moving any large package from Core to Extras is that,
until anaconda grows support for multiple repositories, upgrades
will cause failures. If you move stuff that isn't *yet* in a Core
release, you avoid that.
