Well, on a practical level because Fedora has already made this change
and it will be there in Fedora 15.
This sort of thing happens. Did you realize that 'man' changed to
'man-db' in F14? It has been coverage and support upstream and it was
deemed a better solution overall.
Did you note that libjpeg was replaced by libjpeg-turbo, resulting in a
good increase for all jpeg related operations in Fedora 14? It's
upstream was much more responsive, it was faster and the maintainers
found it to be the better solution.
(There are of course many other cases in previous releases). Software
changes and Fedora maintainers try and make the best choice for the
distro and it's users.
