Because adding a patch and releasing one day later is -really- bad
practice.  The 4.0.3 release has been in testing quite a while, and
things work well enough to release.  I'm sure that your patch, and quite
a few others, will go into the RPM CVS tree shortly, so that people can
begin testing them.  But until they're tested, they can't go into a
release.
