This is not problem for me on my machine - I had 1.10a/1.10b/1.11
already on my machine for quite a long time those days - but to build
them in koji it required hacky solution (e.g. temporarily
reverting/disabling things which do need automake 1.10a+ or some even
more ugly things). I was talking about first request - just to add 1.10b
to rawhide, initiative for updating F-10/F-11 to F-11 came later from
Jim Meyering side. Anyway - I like F-11 update of autotools, F-10 update
is still ok for me, but imho F-9 update should not make it to stable.
