Sharing should go both ways.
Yes. thats what I said above. obsolutely agree with you on this
Their good ideas include a 'run fromIf you consider this worth a dicussion, this should go into Fedora-devel or bugzilla.

These are great features currently missing in Fedora.
Well its still a committe decision since getting "consesus" on this can be hard but your inputs if proposed well with adequate research and rationale will definitely be considered. The previous "dynamic" discussions in fedora-devel about packages getting dropped was only pointless flamewars. Hopefully that doesnt get repeated yet again
I think it should be much more dynamic than a committee decision.
What I mean is that Core vs. Extras is an administrative concept related
to who controls what packages. From a user's perspective the important
grouping is the set of packages that need to be installed on any
particular machine, which will be related only to the purpose of the
installation - and for most purposes I'd expect a mix of Core and Extra
packages to be wanted. What matters from the user's side is the
effort/bandwidth needed to choose and install them, not where the master
copies are stored.
Yes but if Fedora Core should be one CD it shouldnt just be a random mixture. It can be targetted towards either the desktop or server or something like a blown up version of boot.iso . If we target the desktop then it boils down to what should be the default for things like the browser, office suites and so on. If its the server its pretty use to determine that Apache will the default web server but the rest is still open to discussion. All I would ask people discussing it here who believe they have the right solution is to write a good proposal and post it to fedora-devel list instead of endless arguing about it here. You are not reaching the developers and you wont get your problems resolved or your ideas implemented by abstract talks in this users list
