They are not included ONLY if you believe that the sources on the
separate CDs are not part of the distro.
In my experience, even when you bought the distro from redhat they were
included.

But you ARE wrong about the source being omitted.
While they may not be part of the test releases, they will be in the
released version.
While they may not be part of the binary packages, they will be on the
source CDs which are part of the distro.

Thus, you are looking at something that is in development and asking why
it is not in final form.  That is a stretch for anyone to make that
complaint.

If, on the other hand, the final release of FC3 did not include them on
the DVD or CDs being provided then your whine would be valid.
