There isn't an easy to build newer version right at the moment. The issue is 
really that a major ABI change occurred and it was pushed to a shipped OS. Do 
we do things like go from python 2 to 3 after Fedora ships? No. Major version 
changes for R need to be tied to an OS release like every other language. Or a 
compat package created.

We don't do incompatible changes for python within a Fedora version release. 
Major changes should be tied to an OS release. IOW, F26 can have 3.4 just fine 
since its not shipped. F25 has already shipped and rebuilding EVERYTHING is 
just not nice to push on people.
