KDE doesnt have a terminal in the desktop context menu either.

Its not about size. its about maintenance. Why do want everything but
the kitchen sink in core itself?

Fedora core 5 would have a yum aware anaconda
(http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/YumBackend) and will allow
you to choose nautilus-open-terminal to do that from extras. Use
kickstart if you want to automate this process for N number of systems.
You have the choice.
