How would you shrink Fedora?

I just want to clarify, none of the packages are being completely removed from the distribution, simply moved to Extras until FC5 (in all likelihood).

It also looks like FC4, unlike FC3, will ship with Extras enabled in yum so updating or installing any of your favorite moved packages should be simpler. At least from my understanding, all of this is likely to be temporary until FC5 when the installer can handle multiple repositories and (I *think*) additional CDs.
