cyrus is not as widely useful, so it probably would be moved to Extras if 
anything.

A while back I tried to work out the whole "text mode browser" confusion. 
There is also w3m in the mix. Each of them has unique attributes for 
particular users (blind users, CJK users, etc.) Someone such as yourself 
needs to find out all the details, pick the best one or two for the 
overall Fedora audience, and move the other(s) to Extras.

Best,
