I didn't mean to say that we should be aggressive towards some person, just 
that we should "aggressively", i.e. proactively, quickly, routinely, 
systematically, frequently etc., update packages to new upstream versions 
because that's part of the Fedora Objectives.

Rawhide should always have the latest upstream release unless there's a 
strong reason why a particular release needs to be skipped (i.e. it's 
broken, it contains illegal stuff or something like that).
