This is a case where the Fedora "stick to upstream" doesn't resolve

texlive4ht is an upstream. I do notice that upstream tex4ht has
updates beyond the version included in texlive. That's true of many
packages though, and it would be mad to start splitting everything
out.
I disagree. It is mad to have something monolithic when there are
different upstreams. The aim of texlive is to build a TeX distribution,
the aim of fedora is to build a distribution too. So the texlive choices
are not necessarily right for fedora.
In the tex4ht case, the tetex-tex4ht package (I maintain) is much newer
than texlive (at least in rawhide).
