There is a new libvirt release once each month. There is also a cutoff date for rebasing packages for each new Fedora release. Whatever is the most recent release of libvirt on the cutoff date, that is the release that is put into Fedora for the release. In this case, libvirt-0.8.8 was the most recent on the F15 cutoff date.
virt-related packages like libvirt are not rebased for already-released versions of Fedora, but there are two methods of getting bugfixes:
1) request that a bugfix be pulled in as a patch to the release in use on that version of Fedora. When this happens, a patch release will be made (e.g., the version will go from 0.8.8-1 to 0.8.8-2). There is no automated method for bugfixes to go into libvirt of a released Fedora, an explicit request must be made.
2) use the fedora-virt-preview repo when doing "yum update". This will give you a build of the most recent upstream release of each of the packages. The F14 instructions on the wiki page will also work for F15 (as soon as the F15 version of the repo is online):

I am following up with jforbes to learn when the F15 incarnation of the virt-preview repo will be created.
