We packagers do not have all supported Fedora releases installed. There are
4 different releases to care about right now: F23, F24, F25 (Branched) and
Rawhide (F26+). What usually happens is that the maintainer tries the new
version on the Fedora release he/she is running and then relies on user
feedback in Bodhi for the others.
The packager also does not necessarily have SELinux enabled on his/her
system. (In fact, the easiest solution if you are running into selinux-
policy bugs is to just disable the thing.)
And finally, if the old version was already broken (due a bug in another,
unrelated package), how is the maintainer supposed to test the update (other
than by disabling SELinux or setting it permissive)? The update is not a
regression.
