> That can be added, but needs to be added by upstream.

I assume you're referring to the changelog.  The problem is that the spec is
part of Fedora, not the upstream source.  It's maintained in Fedora CVS; someone
else might come along and fix a bug or bump the release and rebuild the package,
and at that point you'd end up with a change that's not upstream.

OK, just checking.

Well, as long as you're willing to deal with the pain of dealing with
unversioned upstream source, there's no problem with it.

It just seems like a really poor idea for anyone to link statically against
moving-target development code.  Still, it's OK as long as nothing in Fedora
actually links against those static libs.
