Generally antivirus is only a concern for protecting non-Linux hosts.
For that reason most Linux users have little need for it, and I really
don't feel it should go in the core. You really want Core to become 4
or 5 CD's?
Instead Fedora server documentation can say "install clamav-this and
clamav-that from Extras".

I can say with confidence that fedora.us Extras generally has very high
package quality.
