It should have been, but...

my guess would be an oversight on somebody's part.  You
could always submit a bug report to RedHat.

I have yet to come across a distribution that doesn't have it's warts.
they're often a pain when you comes across one.  I know you're
feeling of frustration.  goodness knows the amount of time I've spent
trying to find where a particular file I'm looking for comes from.  

But a Linux distribtion on the scale of RedHat is a big project.  Dotting
every "i" and crossing every "t" takes time that sometimes disappears
in a release schedule.  Or sometimes someone just forgets to fire up
a text editor and add a line to the release notes.  They're human.
QA'ing something to size of RH is quite an undertaking.
