I think, It's no argument to include rsh in next versions of fc/rhel. OpenSSH could successfully substitute this component. SSH is more secure than rsh and has all features of rsh. Do you think anything else??
The rsh _client_ has its uses in legacy environments. The daemon, questionable. Likewise, why we still ship telnet-server in core is beyond me.
I have needed telnet-server a few times when trying to debug when connecting from network gear (no ssh in most). Also, where we allow shell access to web hosting customers, we still allow telnet (most of them are on Windows and it only includes a telnet client).
Tell them to use putty or some such SSH client for Windows.
