That is what I've been trying to figure out... 'cause, from both the 
guidelines and the discussion here, it would seem that FE packages 
delivered *pre-installed* is a violation to the default Fedora 
installation, as these packages are not part of Core and, as such, not 
entirely delivered with the CD/DVD media the customer might receive... 
However, the repository configured inside the default install, could 
that be considered as equal as to receiving the installation media, as 
the install media for such packages *is* yum?
