When a feature that is used is broken, even to the point an application crashes, and the fix requires the new version, then it is in issue in the usability of Fedora.  This has been my biggest complaint over the years.  I am finding this with some applications on F20 that I have used in the past.  In some cases, it isn't even a full version update but a 0.1 update that is refused.

Did you file any bug report?  Example?  In any case, changing the update policy is not going to fix this.  There is nothing in the update policy that prevents a maintainer from pushing a point release that fixes a bug.  It could be resource shortage issue but a policy will never force volunteer maintainers.  It can only set guidelines that communicate expectations.
