IMO, these package do not belong into a "FPC owned" Packaging directories.
"official FPC" and "community contributed packages" should be strictly
separated. Whether "Packaging" should be "FPC owned/controlled" is
different question.
I for own would recommend to change as little as possible, because
Fedora already has openedn way to many "construction sites" and we
really don't need more.
So, a minimalist approach would seem more appropriate to me:
Either
* do nothing and keep things as they are.
* Rename "Extras/" into something more meaningful.
