How is that "integral"? As I understand it, all you have to do is replace them with other images. As a hypothetical example: if you had to replace them with other images, *and* update some file with the MD5 checksums of your replacement images - and if Red Hat didn't tell you this, but left you to stumble over it on your own - then I would certainly join you in bitching and moaning about Red Hat's unsavory tactics. I don't think that's the case here, though.
