I'm continually baffled by the resistance to move things into Extras.
As a user, why should it matter to you?  When you run pup or pirut, can
you really tell what comes from Extras and what comes from Core?  As a
developer, this would give you more access to help the development of
said component.  How can this be a bad thing?  Once we get to the point
where we spin ISO sets that are Core and Extras packages to complete a
theme or goal (Fedora Desktop, Fedora Web Server, Fedora Development,
etc..) then does it _really_ matter if its in Core or Extras?  This is
why I said "yet" as we need to get to where "shipped" isos have the
content necessary for that goal of theme.

Please, do let me know why there is resistance.
