The issue is that a security fix that really only required fixing one 
package's scriptlets ended up requiring users of Fedora 21 and even Fedora 
20 to update thousands of binary packages that didn't actually change at 
all. Over a slow Internet connection or with a slow CPU, this can take 
hours.
