Generally antivirus is only a concern for protecting non-Linux hosts.
For that reason most Linux users have little need for it, and I really
don't feel it should go in the core. You really want Core to become 4
or 5 CD's?
Instead Fedora server documentation can say "install clamav-this and
clamav-that from Extras".
Also, until the "extras" goes "live" for real, I (perhaps out of
ignorance) don't feel that confident (please
comment on this) with the fedora.us packages as the
download.fedora.com
ones?!?
I can say with confidence that fedora.us Extras generally has very high
package quality.
