I'd really like to abuse people of the notion that Extras were somehow
inferior to Core. I think this stems from that Extras packages are only
installable once the system is running -- if my memory doesn't betray
me, getting Extras installable directly from anaconda has been
discussed, have these discussions born any fruit?
