Licensing issues of some sort, I presume. I suspect it matters whether they're selling it or giving it away.
What differentiates Redhat 9 [boxed, sold product] from RHES3 [boxed, sold product] that would necessitate removal of ncftp (and others)? The only difference is that we're paying for support and services now as a matter of the purchase price, right?
It's clear for some things (xmms-mp3, eg), but for others it's a bit murky...
