I, and you probably as well, noticed, that a lot of packages use tap

The version packaged in fedora is quite outdated and obviously needs an update.
My question is, is it a good idea to multiversion this package or should we just update
to
latest version? I can see developers use 2.x and 1.x version, sometimes even 0.x, 1.x
and
2.x dependencies are mostly the same packages in the same versions.
Our general policy has been that we only multiversion if we really have
to so if packages using older versions can relatively easily be patched
to use a newer one then we usually wouldn't bother.
How big are the differences? Is it common to need to patch things, and
it so how hard is it?
