Ah well, there was a thread on that topic in fedora-maintainers back in July:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2005-July/msg00061.html

The idea to have -static packages was vetoed at some point
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2005-July/msg00095.html)
but most people seemed to agree that getting rid of static libs was a good 
idea...
