Cairo seems to be a very well-run project, so I'm not terribly worried it
breaking things. But new versions have new API features, which desktop stuff
needs. And bugfix updates may be essential to the desktop, but we probably
don't care at all on the server. So if we have a common core, it's likely to
get updated more than we really would like -- avoiding updates altogether is
one of the reasons to keep the package list small.
Perhaps, but given that it's only ever been updated once post-release since
Fedora 9, I'm not seeing that it's a huge deal. I suspect you'll get more
superfluous updates for SELinux features that are only tangentially related
to @core usage, for example.
