Kelson writes to tell us about a
Fedora Weekly News article reporting that, beginning with Fedora 7, the
distinction between Core and Extras will cease to exist. This development comes out of the
Fedora summit held in November. From the article:
"Starting with Fedora 7, there is no more Core, and no more Extras; there is only Fedora. One single repository, built in the community on open source tools, assembled into whatever spins the Fedora community desires." Kelson adds: "The post goes on to list three 'spins' they plan to introduce at Fedora 7's April release: server, desktop and KDE. Presumably these would be 1-disc installation sets, with further packages downloaded over the network, rather than the 5-CD collection needed to install Fedora 6."
