Actually, this is supposed to be for RHEL stuff, not Fedora.

I'm however unsure about the current Fedora releases - it'd probably make sense to push the new versions into F19, too, but I'm not sure about F17 and F18. There were many bugfixes in 2.7.4 and I'm not 100 % sure that there is no API breakage (mainly in the C API), so I'd rather keep F17 and F18 with 2.7.3.
