You correctly guessed the follow-up question.  Now is the time
to start creating your favorite RPMs for Severn, other people
should be able to install them using some update mechanism
(once we know which one is preferred).

I don't know what the distribution people are planning, but
personally I wouldn't mind if the next version after Severn
actually shrank the core distribution and simply had all of
the luxury/extra packages available from extra repositories.

That's just my uninformed opinion, though.
Blame me if it turns out to be practically impossible
for the distribution people ;)
