If you need it, you can use yum to install it. I have not needed it on any of my machines. I keep hearing complaints like this from people that the defaults do not work for, or that think the DVD should contain some other programs, and not some of the ones that it does. While the balance may not be perfect, I think it does a fairly good job of providing a base install for most people. The default package choices don't provide me with exactly what I want, but my preferences are a bit different then the "average user". I don't expect the distribution to match my needs "out of the box". I do expect to be able to customise it for my needs. So far, Fedora takes the least amount of customising.
