ACK. Not upgrading Fedora in time would be grossly negligent, IMHO.

If you have a closer look at EPEL, you'll notice that many packages are 
stuck without bug/security fixes , because the foundation underneath 
(RHEL/CentOS) is too outdated and out of control of EPEL package 
maintainers.

It's one reason for me to favor Fedora over CentOS+EPEL.
