> Using upstream URL's is prefered as far as I know, especially when they
replace such ugly URL's as Fedora ones, where not even currency would work
Yes, it does. One example:
[http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/libatasmart/libatasmart-0.19.tar.xz/53afe2b155c36f658e121fe6def33e77/libatasmart-0.19.tar.xz]
Now, for currency script, you use
[http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/libatasmart/]

> - and even if it did, you'd have to rely on Fedora to get the new
version into distro (which can take time) instead of simply relying on
upstream.
I think that it is available in Fedora as soon as they know it will be
released. Only once Fedora was later. Three times it was earlier. In 19
releases, both had it available in the same day. In thr following table,
last column, for a positive value Fedora is later, for null, both at the
same day, negative, 0pointer is later.
