they have been doing that for a while now with the 40D and 50D.. makes no sense to me as its like a 45-210mm lens on this crop factor.. I'd get the body only.
I use the 28-135mm lens with my 40D and it works great. The lack of "wide" on the low end of the scale hasn't ever really been a problem for me, but having the extra on the long end has been nice.

@rtewng: huh? 40D and 50D bundles used to include the 17-85 IS USM. Not a great lens, but at least it has got some wide angle...
The new 15-85mm is probably too expensive for a kit lens, $799 on amazon.
