lftp - useful ftp client ( ftp, ncftp ) D:0
Absolutely the best cli ftp client I have ever used. Any *other* ftp clients are redundant :p
Yes, there's curl and wget etc. which can download, yes - there's the standard ftp command, yes - lftp could be fetched from extras, but I think it should stay - it's not very big, and I bet it is heavily used.
I think the idea behind moving stuff to Extras should not be to move every duplicate package - if masses of people are just going to yum install it, and it is small, it might as well be on the install CD.
AbiWord/Gnumeric being large packages that aren't used by a lot of people are good examples.
lftp (under 1 MB) and lynx (under 2MB) are small packages that are used by a fair number of people - they should thus not be moved.
