I cannot disagree with anything you said!

Now for my caviat -- so long as I can install either evolution or kmail as my 
email client (or both in at least one strange case I have), I completely 
agree ... I want mostly gnome but with kmail as the email client.

On Windows, some users prefer outlook, some eudora and some netscape-mail or 
whatever.  The same holds true here.

Mostly, my comments on this thread were addressed at how to eliminate packages 
providing redundant functionality from Fedora Core and move it to Fedora 
Extras.  It may be possible to do that for some packages but some will need 
to stay with Fedora Core because the alternative is worse ... I cite kmail as 
an example of that.
