So we dump Omni now, then at the time of FC4 test2 or test3, after a
few additional package upgrades, we're back to 4 CDs + change again,
and dump more useful packages, and so on until FC4 ships.  Sounds like
a great approach to me, for someone who has nothing better to do than
counting CDs and selecting packages to remove.  Erhm, to push to
extras, if someone chooses to pick them up, that is.

Meanwhile, we could be spending this time on actually making Fedora a
better distro :-/
