My question is: why does Fedora ships flex 2.5.4a and not a more recent

Probably at least 1 of:
* If it aint broke, don't fix it
* No one has asked
* Many flex versions > 2.5.4a had been too broken to be usable
* Many flex versions > 2.5.4a had been too incompatible to flex-2.5.x
* Many major packages have not been prepared for flex > 2.5.x
Probably explains why Benjamin noticed other distros with 2 flex
packages (one old, one new). Perhaps someone could review possibilities
of dually-installed flex pkgs, and submit the "new" one to Extras. (:
