Yeah, I know it's a pretty common restriction. But, if we want to move more
of Core to Extras (and I think pretty much everyone agrees we do), and make
Extras easily selected from anaconda, Extras effectively become part of the
basic distribution that vendors might want to actually provide. And having a
single package in Extras with this restriction would then basically restrict
all of Fedora.
