Well I think the vast majority of mine are already up to date and the 
ones which aren't have some reason why updating them is a problem that 
requires more significant effort.

Of course there may be a need to update dependencies in some of them and 
I think I've already sent you an email about my preferences on that 
front, namely that what I normally do is to fixdep to the current Fedora 
version but with a caret prefix.

I do generally prefer to be given a chance to update stuff myself first 
but so long as people do updates reasonably and don't make a mess of the 
spec file or anything then it shouldn't be a problem.

It has to be said I'm somewhat wary on this front, mostly because in the 
majority of previous occasions where somebody has tried to update one of 
my packages without speaking to me first they've managed to make a mess 
of it...
