I'm currently on a Kondara box, which is essentially Japanese-localized RH.
[hollis@sora hollis]$ rpm -ql etcskel
/etc/skel
/etc/skel/.Xdefaults
/etc/skel/.bash_logout
/etc/skel/.bash_profile
/etc/skel/.bashrc

So while I don't disagree with you (it does make sense to me to keep .bashrc
with the bash rpm) I suspect the original problem lies with RedHat. Of
course, I haven't seen the RH7 beta yet, so it may have been addressed.
