I'm a user.

My empirical experience is that teTeX coming with the system is 
generally outdated.
My solution is to install TeXLive in ~/TLyyyy (not even every year; 
every other year is generally enough for my needs), and set my PATH 
accordingly. (Yes. That's a bit selfish. But I don't  have write access 
to /usr/local or /opt).
And I even dare recommending this solution to colleagues.
Hopefully, a direct rpm production by TeXLive (or even CTAN) would solve 
the problem of outdated version coming through rpms, but I don't see it 
   an easy task.

Bruno.
