Then maybe reconsider declaring yourself disappointed -others do in fact
(attempt to) sink their teeth into solving the actual problem, so that you can
sleep at night without having to worry whether there is a new problem on the
horizon.

I said Fedora distribution and EPEL add-on repository, and I did not say Red
Hat distribution. These are completely different. The Fedora Project will not
accept it as part of it's Fedora distribution or EPEL add-on repository, and
Red Hat can do as it wishes -however it is still very much unlikely they'll
ship it as it is.

As to the reason this package is not / can not / will not be included; Please
read the comments in this bug/review request. Long story short, Passenger ships
a forked version of the C++ Boost libraries -and lags behind a dozen versions
or so.
