I thought Fedora tried to stay up to date with latest
released software?
I just tried to build FreeCAD 0.15 from git, but it
needs Coin3, and fedora only has Coin2.

Just like Richard said (after 4 years of lingering in Fedora's review
queue), Coin3 is just about to land.
</Coin package maintainer speaking>
Out of curiosity: What does FreeCAD need Coin3 for?
Coin3 only offers very few features, Coin2 does not supply. Almost all
cases, I've encountered packages which claim to require Coin2, actually
did so thanks to lack of better upstream knowledge. Many of them
actually require an SGI-Inventor API-compatible library and do not
require Coin at all
[Coin originally is an SGI-Inventor clone, imitating the
SGI-Inventor-2.1. API, originating from times, when SGI-Inventor was
closed source, with a few features added.]
What happened to that pioneering spirit? :-).
