I'm not suggesting we move it as a target issue, I'm suggesting we move
it as a legacy software w/ no good replacement.  I can't help that there
is no good replacement at this time.  It could be a temporary move to
Extras until such time the gtk2 version is ready for use.  Then we can
explore adding it back in as a target reason.  But by then, we may be to
the stage of Fedora Linux being pushed as a disk set made up of core
+extras.  Then the 'target' isn't really the deciding factor as to if it
is in Core or Extras.  For the mean time, as a complexity issue, I see
no problem with pushing it into extras.  We really need to combat the
Extras is Second Class stigma going forward.
