Fedora routinely trips over all manner of breakages by its aggressive
toolchain upgrades and enabling various security/hardening features that
upstreams (almost) always ignore.
Fedora's packagers carry the burden of fixing and maintaining patches
for countless packages that run into issues related to those toolchain
upgrades.
So why is this "upstream knows best" argument not valid with respect to
Fedora forcing mass upgrading to newer versions of GCC (or LLVM, or
whatever) and hardening features that expose misbehaviors?
