FE will continue to remain the responsibility of Extras package 
maintainers, and FL will not be expected to maintain FE.  I personally 
think it would be counter-productive to close new package acceptance 
into FE3 at this time, but we may want to look into this in the future.

We're still thinking about what exactly will happen.  Your opinions on 
this matter are welcome though.
