Also, for both telnet and rsh, the client and server come from the same
source tarball/SRPM.  The telnet-server RPM is 36K and the rsh-server
RPM is 40K; what are you trying to save by dropping them?  Packaging
either server for Extras would just take the same SRPM and build only
the server and not the client (while Core would use the same SRPM and
build only the client).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
