Precisely.  And it will be entirely up to distributors to decide what
they want to include, if anything (and how they want to package stuff)
from the extra apps release.  So Mandrake may decide to include all
the gnome extra apps in one or two packages (maybe gnome-extra-apps,
gnome-applets-extra, etc.), while Redhat may include them in
individual packages by maybe grouping applets into one package).
