Besides being several versions old, it doesn't come with a lot of the

1.3.1rc3 is old?
Anyway, sorry, this is really off-topic.
Last I looked (2 weeks ago), only 1.3.0 was available.
Another issue (perhaps more on topic) is that the single monolithic
build either doesn't provide useful modules, or it pulls in a lot of
modules (with their requisite dependencies) that ends up loading your
system up with a bunch of kruft that you might not want or need.
A better structuring of the RPM would build optional sub-packages that
contain the optional stuff so that it could be individually loaded as
needed.
That's what I've been trying to do. Plus it would be nice to get a
fairly generic .spec file into the source tree, so that people can
actively build off of trunk...
