Putting us into Extras makes it an order of magnitude harder for people to find us, so spare me the double-think. My personal experience of Fedora-Extras has been very negative so far. It took months for FC3 extras to appear after FC-core. It appears pretty disingenuous though for the largest Linux company with around $1,000,000,000 in the bank and profits growing by 50% per year to reduce their level of support for us. I don't feel much loyality to FC or RedHat anymore. That said, we want to make our software as widely available as possible. If someone from the FC community wants to maintain AbiWord for FC-Extras we'd love to hear from them. Martin
