What package are you talking about? The kernel gets updated to stable
releases in stable Fedora in most cases (2.6.28 was skipped, but the plan
is that 2.6.29 will be pushed), so things do get fixed in stable releases.
It also gets updates from the upstream stable branches and sometimes
backported bugfixes. KDE is also maintained in a similar way in Fedora. But
of course if you want to run the latest prerelease kernel from git or the
latest prerelease KDE from svn you won't find that in a stable Fedora. ;-)
