Except for fedora-specific quirks, fixing should be an upstream issue.
What a distribution needs to know is whether upstream had a bad day or
not before pushing some drek to unsuspecting users. If you had
sufficient testing before release, or a place for user testing/reporting
before full release that can expose the fact that a particular update is
not ready for prime time just don't do that update.
