For me, can go (into Extras) :

- desktop-backgrounds-extra
- compat-gcc-8-3.3.4.2
  (if nothing in FC4 relies on it to be built anymore)
- tuxracer
  (nothing new in ages, and not a really exciting game)
- abiword, gnumeric
  (I use them a lot, but OOo is included)

I'd definitely like to see xfce kept, as it's a nice light desktop manager
alternative.
Looking at Eclipse and other java related stuff... wow, it's huge, and
represents an amazing number of packages... I definitely don't know enough
about it to identify anything that could be considered optional, but if
part of it is, I'd definitely agree to have it go back into a specialized
location.
