When an update that fixes an not very important bug causes a lot of work, e.g. a new python version, than imho it is worth waiting till the next release. Also, when there are no bug reports from Fedora users, than imho it is also ok to delay an update. What does a maintainer gain when he maintains an old version of a package in one release and a newer one in another instead of maintaining the same new version in both releases? Also there are cases, when a user cannot easiely upgrade to a new release, e.g. all zope users cannot use Fedora 7 afaik, because there is no Zope in Fedora 7 anymore. And last but not least it is also depressing to fill bug reports, when they are ignored.

I never said ignore them. Respond timely. Fix with discretion. Users for the most part are willing to accept that not every bug is going to be fixed in the current version.
