what's behind the scenes of redhat-config-network-gui ?

excellent.  I see there's an update in rawhide as well. 

Just wondering... why isn't that update released as part of Red Hat 9 
updates, available on rhn and @ your friendly neighborhood apt 
repository?  How does Red Hat decide what makes something worth being 
release as part of the updates?
