A Fedora release should have a locked version of key shared packages, such as Python, Rails, etc., should be kept at a specific version (with upgrades only for bug fixes). Packages within a release can be upgraded so long as they don't require the next version of those shared packages. So, if F13 is Rails 2.3.5 and Rake 0.8.7, then an app that requires newer versions of either should wait until F14 to push _that_ update out, and not go to F13 at all. Especially since even a minor upgrade of such a shared component can break a lot of apps. -- Darryl L. Pierce, Sr. Software Engineer @ Red Hat, Inc. Delivering value year after year.
