In the early days of Fedora, it was explicitly decided that (contra
Debian) maintainers are not required to backport patches and that
rebases (fixing a bug by updating to a new upstream release) are the
most expected kind of update.

It seems the consensus on this decision is not as strong as it used to
be, nevertheless - with the number of package maintainers that admit
they can't fix bugs in their packages on their own, is overturning this
policy even possible?
