Generally no. The patches should be pushed upstream into rawhide/F-15/F14
and koji admins can build patched rpms for the F-13 release if necessary. My
understanding is that the ARM F-13 release is basically being marked as done
and development in terms of package fixes and builds should be aimed at F-14
and later now.
