My plan so far was to go for the stable release at the time, which would be 3.12.2 or 3.12.3. We've done the same in f20. It works out well for Fedora, I think - we get a fairly stable, well-translated GNOME. It works out less well for GNOME - to some extent, we lose testing and timely exposure in one of the major downstreams if the GNOME and Fedora schedules move too far apart. It seems that the current f21 schedule is somewhat pessimal from that perspective. So maybe we should indeed look at copr for providing 3.13 development releases before rawhide branches off for f22. I'm not sure if providing 3.12 as an update for f20 is a great idea - its not something we've done before. It will certainly eat some resources both on development and qa. But if there are volunteers who are willing to help out, we can discuss it. Thankfully, we don't have to rush it - we can stage it and only push it out if it looks solid. Trying out coprs for that staging might be interesting, if only to work out how to do qa on copr content thats destined for mainline Fedora...
