And why is having a package in Core, where the maintainer has to be a RedHat employee, more Community Driven than having something in Extras, where people from the outside community can become maintainers? Extras is in the default configuration. Newbies will have access to packages that fulfill the basic functions. If you know enough to know that you want a different package, or to choose between multiple packages, installing via yum isn't difficult. And believe me, Enterprise Linux certainly cuts down the number of packages as well, in order to reduce the inevitable support headaches. It's kind of ridiculous to call it an argument for Enterprise Linux. John Thacker
