It looks like Rahul Sundaram dropped it to save space, along with a few
other non desktop oriented packages, in commit ae4afb9f.
Yum on my rawhide box is telling me that the installed size of the
firstaidkit-plugin-all package with deps is 1MB. I haven't attempted to
spin up a F13 live image recently, so I'm not sure how tight we
currently are for space, but having some system recovery tools in our
spins is important.
And my understanding was the Desktop spin (for instance) was no longer
going to target a CD medium because the size limitation is really
starting to create substantial problems.
