We should keep Fedora XFCE as small as possible, everyone is free to
install whatever he wants.
I know that a lot people are using xfce as a replacement for gnome and
install their common tools like thunderbird etc. there, but I still
think we should steer the course and keep it lightweight.
By the way, I like the software we are shipping.
At the moment I see no reason why we should use this space.

We've added Open Office on our netbooks with XFCE. It is quite
important for us at work, and at home, to have WP, Spreadsheet, and
presentation packages that can read and write Microsoft Office files.
Having them on the spin, as opposed to retrieving them, is likely to
matter to those without good internet connectivity.
