Where the automake was upgraded to 1.11 for F9, F10, and F11.

Wow.  That *is* surprising.

But is this the type of upgrade that makes sense in general?

No.

Even if Automake had a better track record of compatibility, upgrading a build tool to something that isn't simply a bugfix release does not make sense *in general* for released versions of Fedora. Special circumstances that might prompt such a move can always be discussed, of course. But this sort of thing incurs way too much risk.
