Because if they don't, then they'll get the same complaints that Red Hat has been getting with RHEL3: Q - Why isn't the so-and-so RPM included in RHEL any more? A - It isn't supported, so we took it out. It's never been supported but we kept having to tell people that over, and over, and over again. Q - Well, I understand that it's not supported, but I don't want to have to build it myself. Can't you put it back in?
Iterate over so-and-so in pkga, pkgb, pkgc, pkgd.... It's a no-win situation for the distribution creators.
