removing packages in fedora; nedit

[Marius Andreiana]

It was good to see some packages removed from fedora to make room for
new ones. I guess all had alternatives (except gnuchess/xboard, I
thought about maintaining it in Extras but then remembered how it always
beats me and grinned :-D )

Still, would be nice to have a proposal for removal on devel list first.
Feels more like community.

How about removing nedit too? I find out about it by typing "nc" instead
of mc (nc is also netcat)

Waiting for FC Extras submitting policy to be done and commit Hylafax,

Well, I have quite a few users that WANT nedit for coding, so I am not
against this move provided you assure me I can still install it easily
(read extras...) and timely update it.
While I am at this, is there any easy postinstall method for
installing stuff from extras using a kickstart installation??

Cheers

Some of us like nedit and would be very disappointed to see it removed.  I can 
certainly see that nc could be removed/renamed since it conflicts with 
netcat's nc but nedit itself ... no, that would be undesirable.
