Anarchy? We have processes for that in > Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MikeKnox/AWOL_Maintainers It is part of the Fedora Objectives: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives to "be on the leading edge of free and open source technology". Given that, it is completely unacceptable to not upgrade software to the current release in Rawhide (within a reasonable timeframe, of course we're all not available 24/7) unless there's a really good reason to (in which case that reason ought to be given in the bug report asking for the upgrade!), especially when upstream is asking for their software to be upgraded. So the maintainer's decision (assuming there even WAS a decision rather than just lack of time or worse) goes against Fedora's Objectives and so it's not OK to say that it should just get accepted. We should really be more aggressive about allowing to upgrade other people's packages in Rawhide if the maintainers don't do it within a reasonable timeframe and don't document any good reason not to do the upgrade.
