Yes, there were lots of prior discussions and yes, it seems that there are 300+ RPMs missing. A couple of other examples: hdparm and kdebase-nsplugins. Someone did a complete inventory by generating full listings of both and writing a script to spot list entries in the download set that were not in the powerpack set. As said above, the number was > 300. Now PLEASE guys - let's not start another round of "Are you sure it's not just the software manager not providing the full list?".
