People who are running fedora _at all_ don't care about updates of 
individual programs being to new versions - that happens all the time.

However, they may not want to update to a whole new fedora release until 
a convenient time due to prior bad experiences with compatibility 
between releases.  Or they've tried it on a test machine and know there 
will be problems with the hardware or other software they are running.
