Sounds like more of a reason not to include it to me, what happens if
someone screws up the time on the server, "Oh look it downloaded 20megs
last night all by its self. But why does it say it's already installed?"
This however is not the reason it was not included.
First off the mdk RPM's are not exact copies of the helix rpms (yet.),
there are still a few things to work out with helixcode before you can
ever expect them tobe also. Things like version control, optimization, and
all that sort of fun stuff.
Bottom line is it would/could download things not approved by Mandrakesoft
QA...
