Well, what makes Fedora different is its a fast moving, cutting edge distribution. Fedora is more than happy to make drastic changes in a short amount of time, stomping over numerous core packages. This is what makes it different. (especially from Debian...) Perhaps the core/extras separation is the price we pay to accomplish this development style. Perhaps eliminating the separation will just turn Fedora into slow moving Debian. Or maybe it won't. I really don't know. > Just open brainstorming... ;o) Indeed.
