Well, update to latest release (every 6 month) and you will get latest
and greatest anyway.
I read your statement as you are wanting to treat Fedora as a
rawhide
snapshots. The sad truth is, it's exactly as what I have perceived
recent Fedora releases haved evolved into.
Updating old releases to latest and greatest
(features and new versions) has a cost,
Correct. The key to manage this
"cost" is many people sharing their time
and efforts. People who can't provide their share of this "cost" should
abstain from maintaining packages in Fedora.
unless update is essential, or
a serious bugfix or security fix.
There are many other things but "serious
bugfixes" and "security fixes".
The world isn't "black'n'white", only.
