Well, whether something in Fedora is a correct decision depends highly
on the packager. Recently some package (I forget which, but it's in the
list somewhere) just changed all it soname symbols w/o any other change

The newer drm seems to cause problems (there was a bug report on some
driver even crashing), so it is not a drop in replacement, if we were to
continue to enforce the drm update we would have to rebuild everything
built against it and test at least on the three major graphic hardware
vendors.
