It's true that the upstream source packages don't automatically search for 'febootstrap3', but I don't think this is a problem since that is a RHEL 6 peculiarity, and it's easily worked around using FEBOOTSTRAP=febootstrap3. There are several other non-upstream changes that we (Red Hat) make in RHEL, such as including the old virt-inspector and removing unsupported features.
