I take it, then, you don't have much faith in Extras *at all*.
Well, whether you like it or not, Fedora leadership so far has not given
me much reason for faith in them ...

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'd love to hear what you think could be done
to improve things.

The same
argument can be made against everything in Extras.
Not quite. It's the size of KDE and its complexity is what makes the
difference - I strongly doubt a couple of "ambitious young man" will be
able to handle it.

I take it, then, as a challenge to remove your doubts.

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.
Why? I said, *RH* is decoupling itself from what others consider a core
component - If *they* think this is wise, ... well, I think they are in
error.

RH is free to choose whatever bits from Core, Extras (+others) to form RHEL.

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).

See above. I've read to many false promises from Fedora leadership to
give any trust in any such promise before I have it in my hands.

I think I see a trend here... you may be placing too much emphasis on Fedora
leadership (and "promises"), when in fact, much (most!) of the work/support
here needs to happen in the *community*.
