You say that without knowing anything at all about the situation? If you're a Red Hat customer, you could file a support ticket to get it pulled back in.

Historically speaking, Red Hat is rather conservative about the number of crypto libraries they pull into their system because of the requirement to validate the system for certifications. But if there are legitimate requirements to have it included and managed by the base system, then usually they'll work to fix this if they are informed that it's needed.

Again, if no one has officially requested it, then why would they pull it in?

It can also help to file bugs on RHEL 8 in the Red Hat Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%...

I have never spent $1 of my own money on Red Hat. After seeing this, I never will.

Just so you know, there's a bug report requesting this extension to be enabled and shipped: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1714591

You could also file a bug report in Red Hat Bugzilla even as a non-customer. But clearly you think that Red Hat is being malicious about this, which is definitely not the case.
