You are missing the point. We aren't adding Extras to Core to make the distro bigger, or to get these Extras packages on media. We're merging so that the entire Fedora community has access to directly contribute (ie write access to SCM) to what is the Fedora distribution. We're still going to make decisions about what to put on media and what not to put on media (with the exception of the silly EVERYTHING spin that so many people seem to want, and would have wanted it to include Extras before). The whole point of the merger though is to get all the software in one place, to allow for things that were previously in Core to BuildRequire things that are in Extras without having to move them into Core, and to allow the community at large maintain the distribution at large. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
