However, moving evolution to extras may not be a good idea IMHO,
since evolution is the only tool (that I know of) that supports Exchange servers. That is certainly an important feature for many people in corporate environments (or people who use FC at home and need evolution to use the work e-mail).
Evolution in extras is a bad idea. Evolution in core is a worse idea. What other as good as unmaintained large buggy package exposed to external attack and with known unfixed DoS bugs (and probably worse yet to be found) do we ship.
Evolution belongs in the bitbucket.
And what are you suggesting as a replacement ? If Evolution ends up in the bitbucket, something else with the same functionality should replace it. So what other Gnome email+calendar+addressbook+task management application should i use instead of evolution ?
And why is evolution unmaintained? I mean it seems to be important enough that expensive commercial Linux distributions like RHEL use it as a default email client.
