I hope, nobody at Red Hat will take that into consideration! 

The system-config-... packages follow the traditional Unix principal:
kiss - keep it small and simple (OK - relative to current monster
packages). The result are usually packages, easier to maintain and
relativ bug free (or reduced).

The other side of the coin is SuSEconfig, which rewrites the config
files according to the specification and choices you made in YAST and
following its own rules regarding user/adminstrator friendlyness
