I cannot just upgrade a single package. To do that, I would have to go through hell to get all the required libraries. I have done that in the past: NEVER AGAIN! It took me several weeks to make some package work that way. I think it was VLC. For that, I had to install 26 other packages, and finding just the exact version of each took over a week. I would have to upgrade my system from RHEL6 to RHEL7, and doing that takes about a month of aggravation to get everything configured correctly again. That is why I skip every other upgrade. Red Hat support their releases for 10 years. Also, I do not want to bother compiling from source. -- .~.
