Lynx is also an important application for when one is not capable of 
using a GUI to browse html sites. I find the program valuble and not 
"cruft".
Mc is a very handy cli application also and should be included in the 
core installation.

Is the concept of Fedora Extras to push programs off to the side or to 
find a better location for programs that are close to the upstream 
developers model in containment?

Is there work in making compatible iso files for Fedora Extras to enable 
installing them during an initial fresh installation?

programs for inclusion from my point are xorg-x11, gedit, mc, mozilla 
(full suite), lynx, various server applications, up2date (or a better, 
configurable, GUI capable updating tool.)
