Fedora is more open to feature updates than other Red Hat products, but if 
you really want the latest version, grab it from Rawhide's SRPM collection 
and rebuild. Some packages provide reasonable RPM's upstream, and in those 
cases I rebuild their SRPM. SpamAssassin is a good example of that. 
Instructions for building an RPM from the tarball are included on their 
download page.
