I can't speak for htdig, but are you actually having some problem with
clamav in FC6?  It's still receiving updates, including patches for
the recent security issue (on February 20).  That doesn't sound as if
it's not receiving updates.

Maintaining packages is not always about shovelling out the bleeding
edge version.  If that's what you really want, you're free to rebuild
the development version.

So you're complaining that it's not stable because a maintainer is
actually maintaining an existing version instead of pushing out a new
version?  That's completely contradictory.
