The only problem I see with moving semi-core packages into extra is the
lack of CD/DVD version of Extra at release time.
Would it be possible to -officially- master a KDE/FCn/Extra iso snapshot
when-ever a core is released and make it broadly available? (Mirrors,
bittorrent, etc... just as it was a normal core CD?)
