There a number of major and useful software components that is in Fedora 
Extras for one reason or the other and for such packages it is useful 
for end users to know what things to cross check or expect after an 
upgrade. It doesnt matter that it isnt released as such. We cant really 
expect users to frequently check obscure sources like Extras/News for 
more important information.

We have it at a lower section in a order of importance and I think it 
should stay.
