Hello again, Jim: I don't know about the "lofty admonitions to package maintainers" that you talk about -- I have not had much reason to in the past -- but if you want to have the latest bleeding-edge software for anything, you can get it from Fedora's rawhide repo. Alternatively, you can file a bug report on Bugzilla requesting an updated version (and test from the using the updates-testing repo and give feedback). One benefit of all this is that typically solid packages get installed on your system. R 3.1. went through 5 updates (and fixes) on updates-testing before being moved to the (stable) updates repository for downloading by all.
