As people have already helpfully pointed out, this is being packaged for
Extras. It will be a simple:
  <open terminal>   # oops, no longer exists on the menu
  RedHat => System Tools .. ehh ... => Terminal
  # su 
  $ yum install ...  # oops, install what?
  RedHat => Internet => Firefox
  Google, for ... what?
  <30 minutes later>
  Found it!
  Back to terminal
  yum install obscure-package-name-1.0.i386.rpm
  y
  <where did it go>
  <hunt for it in the menus>
  Got it!

Brilliant.

On the flip side, now the code is a lot cleaner.
Which a number of good usability studies have 
shown to be the most looked for feature by average
newbie users.
