Hi, By all means axe games/eclipse/java/cfengine, but are you seriously considering removing xemacs?? I really don't want to suggest other packages for removal. I hope you'll find a solution that will keep the most essential tool *for me* ;-). If you *absolutely* cannot keep xemacs, how about a compromise: keep xemacs - 9681KB as reported by ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/ - and remove only xemacs-sumo (33611KB)? I have not checked, actually, but it stands to reason that xemacs-sumo depends on xemacs but not the other way around. If you do this, then it would also be nice to put a notice regarding where to get xemacs-sumo in the documentation, and maybe in the default xemacs startup buffer.
