I dunno. That sounds like a very good reason to me. Otherwise Fedora would have to maintain a fork, which really isn't a good plan. It isn't the job of a Fedora packager to maintain a fork. If it's really so important to get this fixed, it needs to be fixed across all distros. If there hasn't been a release for three years, the package needs to be orphaned or someone who cares needs to start maintaining a fork that can become the new upstream.
Why would upstream's existing sourceforge svn trunk be considered a new fork?
