They will be in -/rpmbuild (I think).
Being open source the software is designed to be adjusted by external entities for enhancements, so why is Fedora making it so hard to access the source to do so. Many years ago I used to build my own kernel in the days when the kernel was compiled for single core cpu's, and all that was necessary to do that was to use yum to install the kernel source in a sub_folder of /usr/src as it has always done with the kernel headers.
