SDL isn't only used by games, but also as an A/V output system by many
(3.party) progs. Please keep SDL - it is a really usefull libary.

BTW, we must decide wether Fedora (core+extras(+livna)) should be
self-containing, or if it should be as easy as possible to use as a
platform for 3. party programs. I think it should be made as easy as
possible to use as a platform, and not depend on the "all programs MUST
come from RH/extras or they ar EVIL!" thinking we are seeing now...
