Metadata-extractor was imported into Fedora because it was a required dependency of JOSM. JOSM requires metadata-extractor 2.3.1. Even now metadata-extractor is only required by JOSM: $ repoquery --whatrequires metadata-extractor josm-0:0-0.29.5181svn.fc17.noarch josm-0:0-0.38.5608svn.fc17.noarch metadata-extractor-javadoc-0:2.3.1-8.fc17.noarch Therefore the package has not been updated because it would break JOSM. You are very welcome to provides patches for JOSM and metadata-extractor if you would like to see a more recent version packaged.
