Many of the packages in Extras started life as SRPMs from other repos such as Dag's and Axel's. It would be great if Dag & Axel would submit their own packages for inclusion in Extras too.

I hope dag does not push his stuff into Extras. According to what I have read on the Fedora Legacy list, Extras will not be updated by fedora-legacy when Fedora EOL's it so once that happens Extras will become stagnant and not even get security fixes.
There's nothing stopping any package maintainer supporting EOLed distributions in Extras; however, it's anticipated that not all maintainers will be sufficiently motivated to do so, and it's not *required* that they do.
I know this has gone off topic a bit but thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize that Extras would still accept updates to packages after Fedora EOLs a distribution.
