The end user has no way of knowing if it's a bug in the base package or in the Fedora supplied patches. Plus, my experience of reporting bugs upstream has invariably been to be told "don't use the Fedora package, try compiling our latest version from source and report back if you still have problems with that". That's a poor experience for most end users.
