xsri is currently in need of an upstream maintainer who might be 
interested in improving the program, and adding features and 
other enhancements to it.

xsri is not used in the default Red Hat desktops anymore, and
anything in the OS that can use it, does so conditionally by
checking to see if it is installed first.  Due to it not being
used by default anywhere, adding new features to it is very low
on the Red Hat priority list.

As such, I think xsri is a good candidate for Fedora Extras if
there's a volunteer out there who is partial to it, and willing
to take ownership of it, and/or assume the role of upstream
maintainer.

We should consider deprecating it from Fedora Core IMHO.

Feedback and/or volunteers appreciated.
