To stress this claim, notice the minor version on RHEL package (20). 
That means (should anyway) that someone made 20 fixes/additions/changes 
to pollish that version, and new version might have new stuff that has 
bugs need fixing.

This is exact reason why RHEL/CentOS is so stable and bleeding edge 
distros have so much bugs and unstability.
