i suspect it's obtainable as a src.rpm at sf.net.

I suggest filing a bug report; there are reasons you'd want to update 
smartmontools independantly of what RH/Fedora do - eg to et new device 
sopport - and bunding smartmontools into another package like this 
complicates life to nobody's advanmtage.
