I have suggested this before, only much more hard'core'. The "true
minimum' needed to initiate an installation is a relatively small
packageset that does not require X or a Desktop Environment, in fact
I proposed to precook that minimum into a tarball and poop it onto
your HDD in one shot, boot into that and bring in what you need in a
< 1 minute install action.
Put another way, no playing favourites, blow Gnome into Extras too,
turn the actual 'core' into something that is good for Firewalls,
routers, server duties AND the basis of a Desktop box.

Just off hand I did not think making sense was allowed on this list.
Were I Andy I'd be afraid they'd ban me or something. I'll add another
+1.

Sense? Occasionally tolerated, Joanne. But this thread is making a
very valid point IMO. so let me add another
+1
to the tally. If kde goes to extras, then so should gnome. That would
go long way toward seeing that both sides of the ox were equally gored.
