How comes you expect each and every tool in Fedora but the autotools to
be "current".

We have current compilers, current python, current perl, current ...

But ... you are expecting Fedora to ship and support utterly outdated
autotools?

You are measuring by double standards - If upstreams were writing proper
autotool files and where following upstream autotools as they apparently
are doing wrt. other tools, this issues would not exist.
