You are right - I meant to say it was suspicious that these commits
were only done in the f40 branch, but are not present in rawhide.
Usually packages are worked on in rawhide *first* and then changes are
merged or backported to stable branches.

Reading up on the bug, the situation with Julia does indeed sound like
a major clusterf***.
If Julia only supports running on top of the same versions of
libraries that it was built against, maybe it needs to be rebuilt any
time any of those libraries change?
It also sounds like Julia packages are distributed as pre-compiled
binaries? That seems like a major security issue if Julia is just
downloading pre-compiled binaries from somewhere and running them ...
