What cost? I'm the maintainer of those packages. If i want them as
well for people who want it in F-11, i give it to them. Why should i
force someone to upgrade every 6 month? Or even worse to rawhide as
mentioned in this thread? I had skipped F-11 myself entirely because
it was (FOR ME) too broken (personal opinions i dont want to discuss,
because i dont have to discuss it, it's my right to think that a
release is bad and skip it). I respect people who wants to do that as
well.

Or is that the next right someone wants to remove, to skip a Version?

If you dont want to do it, fine. Up to you. Nobody forces you to do
so. But dont force me into some RHEL update behavior.
If you want that, just use it.
