My point is that they _have_ "rebuilt" it,
or at least updated the version.

I wonder if they did this under Fedora Core 5?
It seems surprising (to me) that they are still running this.
I suspect they updated it under Fedora-7,
but called it fc5 for some reason.
[After all, they do have a Fedora 7 directory in their repository.
so presumably they tested it under Fedora 7.]

I'm not complaining, just find it strange.
