Ah. A challenge.

Yes, some time after new upstream kernels are released Dave Jones will
update Fedora with kernels based on them. He reports that it's the main
way that kernel bugs get fixed (not surprising -- there's more people
working on the upstream kernel than the Fedora one).

There's libdrm:

That's just for December. Going back further, *all* of KDE was updated
to version 3.5 during the FC4 timescale.

Of course, most updates aren't full new releases, simply because this is
true of most upstream packages.
