Why? And what would be the benefit?
About F-11, F-12, F-13: yeah, pretty much. They should all contain
the
same stable version of most software.
Cannot agree with this. When F-13 is released, F-12 is history except
for bug-fixes, security updates, and occasional upgrades that incorporate
improvements for issues reported for F-12 and older. To bring "most
software" in F-12 and F-11 in sync with F-13 is beyond the scope of
creating distribution that is preparing and testing a new release every
six months. If somebody finds F-(N) to be lacking, there is F-(N+1).
(e.g. I don't like not being
able to update some of my gtk packages, because the gtk maintainers
don't update their package in older releases.)
Where to start and where to stop with upgrade madness? What may be
feasible for Gtk, would be a much bigger task for GNOME and other
frameworks.
You can update your packages in the current dist release and Rawhide.
