You must've missed this week's flamewar.

I don't know if this expat package does, or does not install, the updated 
shared library.  But, whatever the case may be, the requirements of 
third-party vendor proprietary non-free[1] binary blobs will not be a factor 
into any decision to release or not release any particular package.

ATI's driver must be for some other Linux distro that uses a newer expat, 
and it doesn't work with Fedora.  Take it up with ATI.
