Can't tell you why, other than maybe wu-ftpd is a "defacto"
standard... or at least used to be. Personally, I agree with you. I
think proftpd should be default with wu-ftpd and anonftp in contribs,
or both together being in main so that someone can select at
install-time. proftpd is much better and much more secure.
