AIUI, part of the plan for integrating yum into anaconda is that the
Extras repository will be available during the installation process.
Which also means that we will have to cover it in the next IG, I
guess :).

But this raises a interesting point - if no packages from Extras are
installed by default, then we may have to try to have packages in Core,
or the default installation for new users will have no docs.
