There's worth in that, but I can see one place it'll fail:  You'll get
the program maintainer saying that you should go and bugzilla it with
Fedora, because Fedora has modified their program, and the fault's not
theirs (whether true or not), or that the modifications makes it too
hard to determine whether the fault is theirs or Fedora's.

Certainly, if you'd found a fault and a solution, and presented that to
the maintainer, you're got much more chance of it being accepted.
