The FC4 development tree has 3.4.0, which as far as I know is the very
latest. FC3 had 3.3.0 but was shortly updated to 3.3.1. I'm really not sure

The Extras project is working on the second part. But the first part would
be a pretty significant amount of work -- making good packages is inherently
a difficult process, and making it more automated would be even more so.

There's *starting* to be better documentation, though.
