I understand the package freeze but here's my rationale:

1) MinGW support is an official feature *starting* with Fedora 11. This 
means that new users will not have any mingw32 packages to start with 
and when they go to start to use it they will have out of date and out 
of sync packages. Not everyone has internet access readily available.
2) MinGW packages should ideally match the version level in Fedora.
3) Requiring an update from the get-go for this package is frivolous.

If you do not wish to create a rel-eng request ticket, I would like to. 
This is just a harmless/preventative package request. Same goes for libxml2.

Thank you.
