How do we handle bug fixes? Patch the generated C sources? You'd have to build Vala yourself to generate the C. That, or patch the module to require lesser Vala, which may or may not be easy (for gnome-chess you'd honestly be looking at a three-line patch). But in my opinion, if a GNOME problem is serious enough to need patched in Fedora, it should be serious enough for a new upstream release.... I think the reason the packages build in Fedora now is that autoconf gracefully degrades to building from C if the Vala requirement is not met. Perhaps only when maintainer-mode is not in use. (I'm not really sure; what wonderous magic!)
