Re: Package pruning for FC4 and beyond - question

Is it that difficult for RH to maintain contol, but be copied to extras 
for building in Fedora Extras?  If this is not already a thread internal 
to RH it should be.  What is the real and expected deliniation between 
FC, FE, RHEL, and RH as a company and the maintainers and community at 
large?  I understand there are real business issues that forced the 
creation of FE, but now the continued push for more community involvment 
necessatated by package maintanince and thereby extending FE into FC's 
old territory... what's the deal?

I don't expect anyone can answer the question right now, but I think we 
at least deserve an answer at some point in the near future.

Cheers,
Eric

Is being part of RHEL reason enough to keep things in core?  If that is
the case I will exclude from my list all packages that exist in RHEL.
Personally I don't think that should be the goal here.

There is no clear answer to this yet. The issue is complicated however
by the fact that Extras buildsystem is seperate from the Red Hat
internal buildsystem Core and RHEL both currently use. I'm sure the
buildsystem constraints factor into how Red Hat decides where to keep
RHEL relevant components under their control.
