Why should a package of quotes be a _Core_ package?
The only reason to include the quotes in Core would be if fortune were included. If fortune is in, then it would make sense to provide a very small number of quotes to go with it. Obviously, if fortune is not included in Core, quotes shouldn't be either. I guess a good question would be if any of the packages that take advantage of fortune really have a place in Core. We really need a more specific guiding policy on what belongs in Core and what belongs in Extras. There are many packages still in Core that could be argued to be more out-of-place than some of the things already in Extras. The degree of separation between Core and Extras also needs to be better defined. At present, someone would have to know about Extras in order to find and use it. Perhaps the default Core installation should point users to Extras? Perhaps by adding a small note at the end of the installation or enabling Extra repositories in update tools by default? -Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes
