I think its simply a matter of defining what is 'Core' and what is 'Extras'.

If you check out another popular operating system, its 'Core' is the base system, a web browser, web/ftp server, smtp client, instant messaging client, a couple of text editors, a bunch of admin tools, and a few little tidbits (couple of card games, simple image editor, etc)

Things like Office applications, development environment, alternative desktop environments, alternative applications to what comes with the Core, etc. are all extra.

Redhat have long wanted to duplicate (ie, play catch-up) with this operating system for years. This seems like something worth duplicating to improve their install methods.
