Personally, I'm glad they weren't included, and if they were and a patch were provided to remove them I'd make use of it. This isn't because I'm unaware of the ancient and noble heritage of the swastika but because of the fact that, despite all the study in the world, my knee-jerk, split-second reaction when I see the symbol, right-handed or left-handed, is "ZOMG NAZIS". It would be very distracting.
Makes it rather interesting being over here in Japan as the right-handed swastika, termed manji, is the universal sign on maps for "Buddhist site of interest", much as the torii gate for a Shinto site or a cross for a church in the West. You go looking for the Kamakura Daibutsu and suddenly your brain goes ZOMG NAZIS at you. Odd.
