Ethereal has always been upgraded rather than backported: ethereal-0.9.11-0.90.1.src.rpm ethereal-0.9.13-1.90.1.src.rpm ethereal-0.9.16-0.90.1.src.rpm ethereal-0.10.0a-0.90.1.src.rpm I actually preferred this for ethereal, since I like getting the new features :) Also, API changes are not really a concern with ethereal.
