In CentOS, the why question is easy :)
We build it exactly as is comes from the upstream provider so as to
maintain the packages like they are in the upstream product ... even if
those are not the best options.

That I am not sure about ... taking a look, I found this in the change

- changed default build option for IDLED to off
- included some useful info in README.*

- added build time option for IDLED, thank you Roland Pope
-----------------------------------
SO ... that decision is upstream of RedHat as well (as to IDLED being
not enabled in the default build). I can't find any reason why it is
that way, as far as negative issues are concerned.
