Having a reasonable core with a set of packages which provides decent functionality is, or was, one of the points of Fedora. The ability to throw them in a nfs install directory with whatever extra packages you locally need and some automatic configuration packages was very nice. Now you've thrown that away. "Everything" meant in practice "the package selection has been done in the repository itself". Now there is no easy way to do that anymore. But I really start to wonder why there is a core/extras distinction as that point. Why do you care, the user will have to select by hand what he wants anyway. When was it decided that computer farms, servers and remote administration was unimportant, and only the desktop user was interesting? Is it official, or just de facto?
