It doesn't matter if a package hasn't been recompiled from previous
releases, even if that release is out-of-date.  If there's been no
actual updates to the program, because there hasn't needed to be, then
the last compiled version is used.

If an update does get released, then you can expect that package to
change from being some fc12 package to having the current Fedora release
number in the package name.
