I don't see the reason why something like this would need to exist.
It's almost sounds like a slight against Extras, that people wouldn't
want to use it.
What I would expect to happen is subdivsions of Extras into arbitrary
groups that could be CD-ified; I don't think this is technically
much work.

They're available only in the RHN channel.
