So with these removed from Core I assume they are going to be in
Extras. Correct? In Extras will they continue to be maintained as
before or will they need someone to step up and maintain them? The
reason I ask is it would be a pity to see abiword and gnumeric
disappear as I find them considerably faster than OOo and in the case
of Abiword it supports a number of word files that don't work to well
with OOo.I also use grip. While I'm happy for them to be in extras
rather than core I would still like them to be around.
