Given the number of packages being moved to Extras, and the number of
people who are complaining about "I did a 'yum install $package' and it
didn't find it", may I suggest creating an RPM in the main Fedora
repository, named something like "Fedora-extras", that just installs the
needed files and config changes to activate the extras repository? Then
people can do a "yum install Fedora-extras; yum install $package" and
get the extras.
Then this could be added to the FAQs.
