Not yet, in my opinion. But it is a controversial topic, as you can see in the preceding discussion on this mailing list. Of course, each application that does not need FTP, can disable the protocol at run-time. But disabling it globally on default installations of Fedora would make this change too controversial. We can reconsider it later in case the initial change is well accepted.
