up2date, too.

Fedora as a vendor and all the third party repos ship the config files in a
separate package. This allows flexibility in the sense that you only update the
config files package instead of rebuilding the whole thing. Local site admins
can simply replace this package with a package containing local mirrors,
distribution updates can be made by upgrading only the config files (as future
yum/smart etc. will depend on future python, you break the chicken and egg
situation).

There are only reasons as far as to keep the config files in its own package.
But I agree it should become part of fedora-release in the long term :)
(seriously, if smart does meet its expectations it would be a good candidate to
be promoted to Core someday. While already have duplicate functionality by yum
and up2date, smart could have benfits. But that's not to discuss yet, let smart
convince users in Extras first).
