They do.

If you don't like RPMs, don't use them. If you are merely confused
because you don't know how RPM works, try typing "man rpm". The README is
included in the tarballs. I think RPM even puts them in
/usr/doc/<packagename> IIRC.

Probably, seeing as you don't appear to have a handle on how package
management works yet. Even if the are somewhat lacking in common sense,
remember that that usually means "very very focused" on something more
important.:)
