Maybe. I am not too worried about the names now. The proposal to move 
KDE into extras is for enabling more people to work on it since core 
currently is limited to Red Hat maintainers. The disadvantage with that 
currently is that not everyone has the bandwidth to pull these packages 
from network repositories. So we probably would still need them on the 
disks. The advantage of doing derivatives over putting all of core and 
extras into media is better integration and not ending up with more than 
dozen CD's.
