IMHO it should move to Core.  From the Fedora Project Objectives::
  4. Provide a robust development platform for building software,
     particularly open source software.

Since it can't move to Extras due to dependencies, and it is needed in
order to build other packages successfully, it should move into Core to
support that.  Less maintenance burden and duplication of effort is a
driving part of Fedora philosophy (The upstream, upstream, upstream
mantra is a branch off of that.)
