enchant and aiksaurus are other packages which were dropped recently
from FC.  Presumably they will migrate to extras or this already
happened.  This is somewhat strange in a case of enchant as its
description says "A library that wraps other spell checking
backends".  A common wrapper which you have to find somewhere
"outside" does not sound that useful.

Lots of things were in core and are not there anymore.  A list is
rather extensive.  Moving to extras big fat pigs like openoffice
or eclipse would be much more effective.
