The Feodra team has posted a set of 28 features for the upcoming Fedora 7 release, of which the biggest is this: "Starting with Fedora 7, there is no more Core, and no more Extras; there is only Fedora. One single repository, built in the community on open source tools, assembled into whatever spins the Fedora community desires."

I wouldn't mind doing it myself, except that I don't run Fedora Core, not to mention I've yet to try doing any packaging. I have heard that it's easier to prepare a package for RPM than for DEB, and I'm sure there are HOW TOs around. Maybe one day if I get the time.
Though something that replaces some of the Red Hat specific configuration things may not have such an acceptance into the distribution, but I could be wrong.

Months ago, someone was complaining about the lack of Pessulus and took the initiative to package it for Fedora Extras. After intensive reviews and acceptance, Pessulus is now avaiable for Fedora. The lesson is if a FOSS package is not included in Fedora, take the initiative to package it instead of complaining. This is not much different for Debian package maintainer who decides to bring an application not included in Debian.
So, are you willing to do it?
