Why not GNU's Findutils?

I have seen that Fedora Core uses Red Hat's implementation of 'locate'
and 'updatedb', while sticking to GNU's implementation of 'find'. Why
is it so? Is there any reason for not using GNU's implementation of
'locate' and 'updatedb' as well, since they alongwith 'find' are part
of GNU Findutils (http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils)?

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
