We're moving in the wrong direction.  It will not get better unless we
change course.

Redhat needs to merge Extras packages into the Core build system,
flagging Extras as non-Core but otherwise managing and building them on
equal footing with Core packages.

Integration is much less work than reinventing a "separate but unequal"
Extras environment.

The resulting products will be of higher quality because of the greater
opportunities for real world testing.
