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.
