Yes, but if that's the goal, I'd prefer it to be looked at outside of just
KDE (fer example, the gnucash stack could move to Extras if we wanted to,
along with all the random stuff that's not in comps and not required by
anything.)

The problem is, we're already essentially frozen for test2, and we've
already rejected changes (outside of this) that would involve large
package upheaval in Core. I'm concerned that it's too late for this
now, and if we're moving as planned for FC7, it will all be solved
then anyway.
