[Fedora TeX Live] TeXLive 2011 breaking typesetting; why is Fedora using a development TeXLive?

Having said that, Fedora's TeXLive 2010 packages acted strange 
themselves. For example, the "axesstyle=none" property of a psgraph does 
not actually remove the axes lines; I have to add "linestyle=none" to 
get the axes to actually go away. I haven't had that issue on other systems.

Today I noticed that one powerdot presentation had item bullets that 
would render only in acroread; in okular they rendered as letters as 
opposed to squares and diamonds. I turned on PDF/X compliance in ps2pdf, 
and that fixed the problem, but I have never had that problem before 
(and I use okular on my Arch Linux system with TeXLive 2010).

Does no one else notice these peculiarities with Fedora's TeXLive? They 
may only be noticeable if re-generating a PDF on a different system and 
comparing the results.
