In general, IMO, Fedora Legacy errata policy should be to bump up to
the newer upstream version on ancillary packages and backport fixes to
only libraries or software that have other visible major dependencies
and externally defined interfaces which are known to be used by third
parties. If there isnt any opposition to this, I will add this piece of
info to the wiki pages and FAQ on legacy.
