And just because a library has been upgraded from version .so.2 to version .so.4 and you can't have both (as the new one replaces old one by Fedora policy) - you cannot normally use rpmfusion.
the whole point of a *shared library* is to have single versions of libraries and not 10 versions you need to seek if they are affacted from wahtever security relevant bug, in many cases it will be impossible to answer that question
and no, backporting of fixes is not the solution, ignoring manpower here, how often do you think developers are fixing some bug and even not realize it was security relevant and so no CVE is assigned
not long ago glibc was affactd by such a case
The best part is - the library itself is mostly useless - but because of packaging policy - if you want to use rpmfusion - you have to basically build lib-compat-like (Fedora way) libraries yourself - that's what I call silly....
no, rpmfusion just need to cope with rawhide changes and rebuild as Fedora does
