I wouldn't be sure. Though I on one hand agree that RH's work on KDE
has not been a "proof of exellence", on the other hand, I think, a
couple of overly ambitious KDE hackers in Extras could be harmful.

2. It would be maintained in Extras by the same people that brought
you the kde-redhat project, so you'd probably get better-packaged,
more up to date releases than is currently possible in Core.
C.f. my comment to 1) above.

I'd hope such a large maintainership burden would be done by a team,
which certainly would include rh's current kde maintainer.

IMO, it's only a matter of time until somebody will screw KDE and nobody
will feel responsible - Up to now we all had RH's KDE maintainer to
blame, but then we won't have him.

I take it, then, you don't have much faith in Extras *at all*. The same
argument can be made against everything in Extras.

3. It would close out RH from a technology

IMO, simply being in Extras != "close out RH from a technology"

1. RH != Fedora !!!

true! Which puzzles me why you mentioned it, because it appears to weaken
the original assertion even more.

2. There are no FE CDs.
Coming soon! (Or at least a method to create customizable Fedora
installation media using your choice of bits from Core+Extras).

3. anaconda is meaningless rpm-wise.

I don't follow here.
