 yes, he (Michael) is correct - imagine an important update is available
but F15 has gone gold and is frozen - no prob it goes into F15 updates -
and its important so it goes into F14 as well ... now your F14 is ahead
of the released F15 ... until you run an update on F15 or include the
updates repo during the install/upgrade process.

 At least that is my understanding.

 The more time passes since the release the worse this problem may get
because there is no official re-spin of F15.

 What I do - is use mock/pungi to build a fully updated DVD (personal
re-spin) and install from there ...
