I'm just upgrading a laptop from Fedora 25 to 26. The upgrade

I assume you installed that 2.12 version of Scala yourself, it's not
from Fedora.
Yes, it is not from Fedora. So, why Fedora doesn't provide Scala 2.12?
Did you bother reading the URL that Sam posted?

You'll see why it's not in there. In a nutshell, Scala 2.11 and later
are not binary-compatible with 2.10 so all the packages that depend
on Scala will break. The maintainer of Scala has no control over those
other packages.
At least that's how I read it.
