The only reason for openmotif not being dropped immediately is not break
applications and since we agreed to move openmotif dependencies to
Fedora Extras, I am arguing that we move openmotif too over till we fix
everything to work with lesstif. Everyone knows that openmotif needs to
be dropped long term. No hypocrisy there.
But what is the POINT? We aren't going to be touching openmotif at all, only
dropping it, so moving it to Extras makes NO SENSE. Moving the things that
depend on it over so that they can be made to work with lesstif makes some
sense, for those things that we no longer need in core, but moving openmotif
just to move it is silly. If we're going to touch openmotif, we're going to
remove it. period. There is ZERO gain to importing it into Extras. ZERO.
