For stable releases I would suggest collecting a list of packages that
BuildRequire it and see how extensive this list is, and then consult
with those maintainers if they are ok with the upgrade. It may well not
be worth all the work or change in stable releases.


Thanks for the reply, Kevin. I'll push out an updated spec to my git repo and work with the maintainer to push a build into rawhide.

I'd probably be happy if the update to asciidoc is available in rawhide (for Fedora 18).

I went ahead and looked into what depends on it, and it turns out there's only one package that claims a dependency on asciidoc, fawkes-devenv. That application uses asciidoc for creating man pages, so I seriously doubt that the upgrade will cause them any problems since that part of asciidoc hasn't barely been touched.

I'll proceed with the process to get it updated in rawhide (I'm not a packager atm, so I'm just assisting).
