Is it really necessary that we have mozilla and firefox, thunderbird and evolution, abiword, gnumeric and OpenOffice.org, there are a lot of areas with redundant packages in core. As well larger games like tuxracer while nice aren't really necessary for something like core. I'd hate for these packages which aren't adding much in the way of functionality to push out java which really is missing functionality. As it is currently a jvm is one of the first things downloaded by a significant portion of users and java is used by a wide variety of apps. I think functionality as important as java really needs to be left in core. For the aid of the discussion you can find all of the packages currently in the development tree here. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ Aaron
