I'd have upgraded myself but I like the integration you get with Fedora's version.
I think you answered your own question. Of course that integration takes time, and, were I the maintainer, I would rather use a slightly older version than risk my improvements causing unknown problems due to lack of testing.
I suppose....
Of course, Fedora seems to have goals that are at odds with one another in this respect, specifically the goal to "do as much development in upstream as possible" seems to be at odds with being able to do any modification of upstream sources to add integration and functionality.
What exactly does "upstream" mean?
I, for one, would rather have a tightly integrated, functional distribution than just a collection of the latest packages. You can already get the latter from Debian Unstable or Gentoo if you'd like.
Actually, I'm thinking about taking on Gentoo next, but only when I figure Fedora out. :-)
