That's why application updates are also pushed to stable Fedora releases where
it makes sense. :-)
For example, we're always pushing bugfix releases of KDE (x.y.z -> x.y.z+1),
and we (well, Than Ngo, and Rex Dieter independently in his kde-redhat
repository, as this was before the Core-Extras merge) already pushed a
x.y.z->x.y+1.0 update once (3.4.x->3.5.0 in FC4) and we plan to do that again
in Fedora 9 (4.0.x->4.1.0). What we _don't_ push is x.y.z->x+1.0.0 updates
(thinking in terms of the kernel, that would be like updating a distro which
shipped with 2.4 to 2.6), if you want KDE 4 for Fedora 8, you can get it from
the kde-redhat unstable repository. (Note that the packages in kde-redhat
unstable are rebuilds of the packages we're working on in Rawhide, there aren't
separate "official Fedora" and "kde-redhat" flavors of KDE anymore. We're also
using kde-redhat-devel as our SIG mailing list these days.)
