I think the problem is that there are so many lusers (I used to do this 4 years ago :-)) asking for the ultra-latest release of package XXX (this is no porn package, so don't go looking for it in rpmfind.net :-) ), and I can tell you that I heard many users ask for KDE-3.0.1 for RedHat a few days from it's launch. My thought is that RedHat should try to put KDE-3.0.1 in the rawhide distro, but not in the updates of 7.3, unless KDE-3.0.0 has bugs fixed in this new release.
