This is normal behaviour for RHEL though...There are only two cases I'm aware of where they will change the version during a support window: 1. Something like Firefox that entirely abandons the old version. 2. Something like php, bind or samba where they'll ship a second version (php, php53; bind, bind97, etc) along side the originally shipping version. As much as stale versions of apps can be annoying at times (I carry a bunch of rpms locally to get newer versions), I'd prefer the stability of backported fixes and no major surprises during version change. Any security or major bug fixes are backported to the originally shipping version. HTH.
