Extra is fine when you're sitting on a fast DSL/Cable line.
Downloading 240MB [1] worth of OO packages is less fun when you're doing
it on a 56kbps modem line.
If/when it'll be possible to generate and torrent an Extra DVD/ISOs upon
release day -and- use them seamlessly within Anaconda/Yum/etc, pushing
KDE, OO and, well, emacs into Extra will be less intrusive.

240MB
