Fedora doesn't get new versions?  I have been using FC since v2 and for 
many of the programs included, new versions have been issued via 
updates, not just bug and security updates.  In fact, this is one of the 
reasons I enjoyed FC over other distros I have used in the past.

As for issuing new versions on compiz, perhaps releasing updated builds 
may not occur because of possible side effects, such is why FF2.0 isn't 
going to come down the update pipe.  I would appreciate and update 
though.  I find compiz too CPU hungry.  I hope future builds rely more 
on the GPU than the CPU.
