However, whenever there are updates to httpd within the same version of fedora, all I have to do is recopy the suexec binary created using the steps detailed above. Takes five minutes tops, works every time. I’ve had to do this every time I upgrade from one version of fedora core to another.

You can in general expect this approach to break the next time you do any Apache RPM updates, because it will overwrite you Apache binaries and skew your suexec version from your underlying Apache versions as you do updates. Fortunately for you, the update versions of httpd all include suexec built in. Previous versions of Apache on Fedora Core and RHEL put suexec in the httpd-suex bundle. In the future, look up features like this on rpm.pbone.net, which is very useful for hunting up RPM's that have new features. This is *BAD* advice.
