I could not find a rpmdb for rawhide.  If you wish to send me one I 
would be more than happy to use it.  I have been using rpm -w 
--whatrequires under the full fc3 rpmdb.

If it is used by kde or gnomes accessability feature and used by someone 
( anyone ) I will remove it from consiteration.

Your other objections are noted, but I stand by freeradius as a 
specialty package probably better served in extras.

Cheers,
