What exactly is the fear here with these updates? Are there many
desktop users who do NOT want the latest released Firefox? Are there
many people using Fedora as their OS for their database server?
What if you are using a Firefox extension that hasn't been ported to
the latest release yet?
What if you have decided that Fedora is an easier path to a server
rather than attempting to backport a lot of packages because the
current release of RHEL/CentOS is 3 years old and doesn't have what
you need in term of framework or language?
What if you are a college that has deployed Fedora to use for your
students coursework, and an upgrade to a language/database/etc breaks
things mid-semester?
Fedora is used in a lot of different ways.
