that is not my point
my point is when i make a bugreport for F15/F16 why
it is first built for F17, notified and a day later
built for F16 (FAIR after a additional comment from
me that i need a F16 build which does no longer
appear)

the reporter has usually not F17 in this case, so he
can not confirm if this build will fix the problem and
taking critical packages from koji does really not
each reporter - please honor people who are doing
There may be any number of reasons for this:
* Maintainer is doing additional testing to make sure the update
doesn't cause problems to the older stable release.
* Maintainer may be waiting for some additional patches/fixes to land
so the update can include all of them as well as that fix.
* A new upstream release may be pending, and the maintainer may want to
wait and push that.
I'd suggest being polite and understanding and simply note that you are
still waiting for an update for an older release. There are sometimes
good reasons not to simply push the same change to all branches and
update them at the same time.
