Exactly. I use i3wm and I use xrandr to determine if I have my laptop
docked with IPS panel, docked with VGA monitor or standalone. Then I
setup all my workspace appropriately.

Yeah, I have fixed that after 10 minutes this morning. I just want to
ask *why* we rebase things for stable releases. If I want to live on the
edge, I use Rawhide.

I don't understand why I noticed this today, it looks like the latest
update was a Critical Path one (???) when Fedora 20 was stable for six
months.

Something is not right here.

a) We should not be bumping up versions of packages for stable releases.

b) We should definitely not do this with Critical Paths.
