Essentially - Core components should be contained in the core 
distribution and I think that, antivirus
should be considered a core component, as you really need some kind of 
virus defence on any server,
that serves either mail or file services to clients... Just like 
spamassassin is included in the core!

Also, until the  "extras" goes "live" for real, I (perhaps out of 
ignorance)  don't feel that confident (please
comment on this) with the fedora.us packages as the download.fedora.com 
ones?!?
