It is the equivalent.  One of the original maintainers of clamav on 
Fedora was a strong believer in over-engineered designs.  That said - it 
does give you the flexibility of fairly easily running multiple 
instances of clamd on a system with different configurations.

I've thought about dropping it, but I think the Fedora and EPEL users 
are pretty used to it at this point.
