One of the major goals of RHLP is to get closer to base - which

the 2.6 kernel tree has ipvs in base. The update tool can also pull
from third party repositories of your choice.
RHEL is about quality Red Hat support, testing, slow rates of change
and errata that are just minimal tested fixes. RHLP is about being
close to the community releases, tracking new releases when they are
available and getting the latest and greatest out there, while trying
to ensure it actually works.
Some of the package choices are down to deadlines, others to
maintainability and - much a relic from the older setup,
supportability.
If this is actually true, great, but I've already been told that things
like the Opteron support would not be included by Red Hat because it
would compete w/ the RHEL product, and I fear that future software will
get the same treatment. I guess time will tell, but it's hard to
express that to the powers that be.
