Well, lets see: 

F13 currently has version 1.6.1 in it. Looks like they follow an 'odd
is unstable/devel, even is release/stable' method. So, all the 1.7.x
releases were development ones. 

I see a lot of bugs fixed, but also a bunch of new features:

I see 9 open fedora bugs. 

Has the UI changed since 1.6.1? I would suspect so. 

Would the libgpod update require rebuilding or changing anything else?
How many other packages depend on that?

So, this seems to me to be something that would need more rationale/a
stable updates exception. 

All just IMHO.
