Given the number of packages being moved to Extras, and the number of 
people who are complaining about "I did a 'yum install $package' and it 
didn't find it", may I suggest creating an RPM in the main Fedora 
repository, named something like "Fedora-extras", that just installs the 
needed files and config changes to activate the extras repository? Then 
people can do a "yum install Fedora-extras; yum install $package" and 
get the extras.

Then this could be added to the FAQs.
