It's all security fixes, so I would think it makes sense accepting it.
Sorry I'm lacking in maintaining the package these days, but I plan to
keep updating it with the last security fixes we find, investigate and
push to the stable branch (1.2.x). Red Hat is helping quite a bit with
this by providing a developer to work on pushing fixes to that stable
branch, btw, so things may improve upstream.

Cheers,
