X-Red-Hat-Extras is useless, too. Does that make it a "useless Red Hat
leftover"?

It is widely known that X-Fedora has never served any purpose other than
allowing for a future desktop menu editing feature.

At one time, only X-Red-Hat-Base was needed to make a menu entry appear in
the top-level menus, whereas everything else only appeared in the
sub-menus.
