Because we think it's fundamentally a wrong approach. Several years
ago, Fedora decided it really wasn't the right approach for
distributions to build unique layers of configuration tools, and we've
been systematically *removing* the tools we used to provide along those
lines (system-config-*) in favour of:

i) just getting things right so we don't need a giant pile of
configuration tools
ii) tools written at more appropriate layers, mainly desktop
environments

It's not really a question of resources, but of not thinking this is
the correct approach.
