Reading the spec file:

[snip]
# Disable to save space
rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/gftp-text
install -m 755 %{SOURCE1} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/gftp-text
[snip]
* Thu Apr 15 2004 Warren Togami <wtogami at redhat.com> 2.0.17-2
- disable gftp-text
[snip]

IIRC there was some discussion on the lists at the time.  Check around:

If there is a compelling reason to bring it back, I would file an RFE.
