That is a question that we need to look at and finding out exactly which
bits we would lose by running down this path which is why I am
suggesting that we run this analysis on the Fedora Extras packages too.
Status quo as a open source distribution is not a unique differentiator
anymore. Everybody has a Fedora-esque distribution these days -
OpenSUSE, OpenSolaris, Freespire...
Then there is stuff like Debian non-free which is not "officially"
Debian, Ubuntu we are Free software except while including non-free
drivers and so on.
Fedora's commitment to Free software is a strong point and we might
consider pushing this just a bit more and leap ahead of the pack.
