Once upon a time, Bill Nottingham <notting(a)redhat.com> said:
Starting with Fedora 7, there is no more Core, and no more Extras;
there is only Fedora. One single repository, built in the community
on open source tools, assembled into whatever spins the Fedora community
desires.
How will this be distributed? Will ISOs still be available that cover
the whole repository? Right now, Core has release targets (and then
updates), while Extras is a rolling target. Lots of users (and
potential users) don't have high speed or even reliable Internet access;
they need everything they install to be on physical media.
I've said this before because of previous experiences trying to help a
friend with only modem access, but now I'm mailing DVDs to another
friend stationed in Iraq. Having a "GNOME DVD" and a "KDE DVD" and a
"Server DVD" doesn't really help, since I can't anticipate what
he'll
want (and all three DVDs would have a bunch in common, wasting space).
