Fedora updates applications when you'd think they wouldn't

The Abiword 2.8.4 on my Fedora 13 Xfce system just got an update to 2.8.6. It's not a major upgrade, and some bugs are addressed, but I don't expect an application like this to get even a bug-fix update in a distribution that's been out there for awhile. A security patch, yes, but a new package because upstream has a new release (even though the distro itself isn't so new anymore)?

I like it. Very much. I've seen quite a few updates roll by over my last month or so in Fedora, and a lot of these things have been bug fixes, not security updates.

First Midori was fixed, now Abiword gets new features (and fewer bugs). I feel like the Fedora developers are really looking out for users and making sure that if the release can be made a little better, that actually can and does happen.

Overall I've been extremely happy with Fedora 13. I'm not happy with either Conexant or the whole of Linux/BSD for making a laptop soundcard that refuses to mute the speakers when a headphone jack is plugged in, but as I say — it's not Fedora. All of Linux and BSD appears affected by this Conexant problem, and I don't see any fix in sight.
