When I get these questions they generally are of this long form:

What is new in Fedora 13 compared to Fedora 12 or older?

What is coming in Fedora 14 compared to Fedora 13 or older?

Why did you change the behavior of $FOO in Fedora 13 updates compared to
Fedora 13 release?

The first two questions are fairly easy to understand and answer with a
little bit of feature page reading.  The last question is a very awkward
one that has no good answer beyond "the maintainer decided it was a good
idea".  That generally leads to a follow up question of "Why didn't
somebody with good sense stop them?"
