Why would this remain in the beta if LPR is no longer included? I noticed it's not selected by default, but the option to choose it during install still exists.

Perhaps if you're upgrading from a previous installation, and have LPR installed, it will remain installed? What's the normal precedent for deprecated packages when performing an upgrade? Are they actually deleted, or do they remain with the old version?

Actually no: for this beta, cups has an 'Obsoletes: LPRng' tag so that LPRng is removed and replaced with cups. The current redhat-config-printer tool can no longer write out correct configuration files for LPRng/foomatic-3.0.0, which is one of the reasons for leaving LPRng out.
However it might be that there are things that redhat-switch-printer does that 'rpm -Uvh cups-*' won't do, and if so that's probably worth a bugzilla report. I think the 'alternatives' links should already be handled, but there may be a 'printconf-backend --force-rebuild' missing somewhere.
