No, seriously. I guess you are a victim of this FUD just like many
other people, too. There really isn't any correlation between a
package being replaced/updated and having more bugs for this packages.
Humm... I'd guess you update /because/ there are unfixed bugs in the
vanilla version, so... ;-)
OTOH, I was burned some time back the other way around: On my x86_64 the
kernel wouldn't boot. So (on the suggestion of LKML) I went and tried a
bisection search for the patch which broke the kernel... but it was Fedora
optimizing the kernel for size, which Linus' configuration didn't do. Lots
of wasted time there.
