"Due to the recent upgrade of gcc and the subsequent full rebuild of everything that gets built with gcc, including java stuff with gcj, and the need to further test package selection windows in Anaconda, system-config-packages for upgrades, and the development tree in general once we settle down the rebuilds, we have decided to delay test2. Here is a new schedule that we will be working toward."

Nothing is stopping you from pulling packages from extras repository and creating ISO images out of them
"
Duplicates of other tools (such as the three or four different web browser currently installed by default) should be in the Extras."
Incorrect. Only firefox is installed by default.

That is fine but I would still like to see a greater variety of software included on the compact disks as well. It would be better to have a lot of niche applications and best of breed tools on the disks that are readily visible to new users. Software such as Scribus, Rosegarden or an equivalent and so on would be a great advertisement for the depth and breadth of open source available.

"Yes. Over 7000 packages are available in Core and Extras repositories enabled by *default* "
