When I see a better file manager that is at least as stable
and functional - at a bare minimum, and doesn't crash every
time you move the mouse cursor too fast or sneeze, I might
try it.

Until then I'll continue to use mc.  I certainly would prefer
it to stay in Fedora Core rather than Extras both for personal
reasons as well as knowing others will feel the same.  When you
log into a remote machine and want to perform file management
activities, and the host of other features that mc has, you do
not necessarily have the bandwidth available to run a GUI
filemanager, and there's no guarantee that X libraries are
even installed on a remote box, let alone nautilus or something.

Please keep mc in Core for sysadmins and developer types.
