I recently discovered that protobuf has not been rebased to new
version for 5 years!!! Sure, this is very special case and people
tried, but I also wonder. How many such packages exists.
I recently noticed that OpenSSL wasn't tracking upstream releases for so
long that Fedora 42, an active release, is using a release of OpenSSL
that was EOL last November.
Starting with the 3.5 release, non-LTS versions of OpenSSL will only be
supported for 13 months, so this is much more likely to occur in the future.

Personally, I think Fedora should be trusting the release tracking
automation more.
One of the ways we might do that is to decouple git branches that track
upstream releases from git branches that represent a release of the
distribution.
