Please, people. Don't update things in stable releases just for fun.
Particularly if your package is part of the build environment for
something else. I don't care if it bills itself as "just a bugfix
release"; that's how you know it's lying.
Except when it is just a bugfix release and it maintains api compat.
Yum has been, on the whole, pretty good about maintaining compatibility
while fixing bugs.
I was being hyperbolic, yes.
Something I've discovered in the not-so-distant past is that hyperbole is
not always grokked by non-native speakers and tends to cause drama
escalation.
Your main point, though - that people in the build and critpath should be
careful with upgrades is completely correct.
