FC4 Extras has liferea-0.9.2-1, seems the version for FC3 is older,
but in Fedora Extras CVS it is newer already.

Liferea in Extras does have a maintainer. I assume FC3 has not seen an
update due to Liferea's experimental nature, which has introduced
regression and "brown paperbag bugs" a few times in version upgrades, and
therefore the 0.9.2 version has been tested in Fedora Development some
time first (and could be pushed to FC3 now, too).
