For clearly obsolete stuff (input methods...) I really don't mind packages being removed, but I see at least 3 issues with what got dropped : - Exim was removed... it's tiny, and was in FC3, so that's probably a bad idea. - Xfce was removed... this leaves FC with no lightweight desktop manager, and it was in FC3 AFAIR, so again... - Both tuxracer and bzflag were removed, but many people (Havoc, Alan) definitely want at least one good 3D game to "show off". I don't have strong feelings about sylpheed, abiword/gnumeric and most (if not all) of the others, but for these 3 points, I definitely do.
