The benefits are the stable Fedora release does not break 3rd party
applications during its deployment/lifecycle.

wireshark.rpm contains many commandline utilities which may be used by
3rd party sysadmin scripts (and maybe even 3rd party C applications).

"further" in your explanation means nullifying the long Fedora alpha/beta
release engineering and also nullifying the upstream efforts to release 1.8.x
versions even after 1.10.0 had been already released.

So let's drop the Fedora releases effort and we can all just run Rawhide.
