Umm.. Hold up a bit. As much as I am not actively rolling packages,
but... what's wrong with KDE in core? I have heard comments that KDE
is a bastard child in Fedora, but I have defended the Fedora Project
against that. If I understand right, moving a package (or set of
packages) to Extras means that it will nolonger be on the install
media. There are already enough packages not part of the install media
for legal reasons...now KDE?
