If there are patches, I do not see why we cannot just apply them downstream
instead of building against a compat package, especially if we make
ImageMagick 7 the default as you propose.
There is no rule in Fedora that any and all patches must be upstreamed.
Especially building against the distribution's version of a library is
exactly what a distribution is for and hence the perfect example of when it
makes sense to patch a package.
IMHO, either we go with Sergio's plan, letting ImageMagick be version 6
forever and introducing ImageMagick7 (and in the future ImageMagick8, etc.)
for all newer versions, then we can slowly switch packages from ImageMagick
to ImageMagick7, or we go with your plan and move ImageMagick to version 7,
but then we should do all we can to make really everything use the new
version.
