Please, people.  Don't update things in stable releases just for fun.
Particularly if your package is part of the build environment for
something else.  I don't care if it bills itself as "just a bugfix

Except when it is just a bugfix release and it maintains api compat.

Yum has been, on the whole, pretty good about maintaining compatibility while fixing bugs.
