Should there be a caveat for cases like I'm dealing with right now --
pidgin-sipe 1.9.0 provides both security fixes and new features
compared to pidgin-sipe 1.8.1.

If these guidelines are to be followed, then I both should (security
fixes) and shouldn't (new features) be pushing this release into F12
and F11.

(And if the answer is "backport the security fixes to 1.8.1" then I'm
afraid I don't really have the skills nor have the time to spend on
such massive effort).
