Others may be eager to test their software with 5.3, but can not spend
the time to make a system update to F12.

For your issue: have a look at /etc/yum.conf and exclude php from
updates (instead of expecting all users of f11 to do without newer
software).

You got the point. Therefore people are using Fedora and expect to get
newer software versions which may provide additional functions which may
come in handy, as soon as possible.
