This tool attempts to provide a centralized collection of the existing
system config tools in Fedora. You are free to package
gnome-system-tools in Fedora Extras repository. There are feature
differences between the set of tools. The current set of tools in core
are better integrated with what Fedora wants to provide on the whole.
SELinux or LVM functionality for example

In the longer run, we might want to merge these features but things like
SELinux are Linux specific obviously and gnome-system-tools supports
other operating systems too so there is likely to be differences.
