It looks like up through F12, initscripts required ethtool (so it was
definately installed by default).  I see this in the RPM changelog:

* Mon Feb 15 2010 Bill Nottingham <notting@xxxxxxxxxx> - 9.05-1
- network-functions: don't use ethtool for link state, assorted other cleanups

Of course, there's also this:

* Mon Aug 03 2009 Bill Nottingham <notting@xxxxxxxxxx> - 8.96-1
- only use ethtool for link checking; no more mii-tool

mii-tool gets pulled in by default because initscripts depends on
net-tools.  However, the mii-tool declares itself obsolete and
recommends ethtool.  Maybe ethtool should be added to @Base?
