I wasn't considering it from the point of view of legal requirements, but just from the point of view of good manners and sound practice. Having various different editions of zsh (or anything) floating around out there that may or may not be compatible seems like a bad idea. (Strictly necessary 'local' compatibility issues for any given distro being, as Bart said, an exception. ) I was just curious if that sort of thing happens very often. Seems to me very poor for Bart to stumble upon a RedHat supposed bug fix that he doesn't even know about. You might think they'd notify us. Just wondering.
