kmysql/gmysql are supposed to be RAD tools for database
development, and manipulation of tables.  I haven't used them in
quite a while, but they've likely both grown since then.  If they
are functional at all, it would be nice to see them included as
well.

That would be incredibly useful indeed.  My vote for gpg, ssh,
openssl are now formally registered also!

Well, as long as 2.4.0 comes out before 2002, I'm sure RH will
include it, X4.0, KDE2, and latest gnome, as well as other major
new releases.

Lets cross our fingers that 2.4.0 comes out sometime this month.
