IMO, a highly counterproductive idea: * Most new packages don't cause malfunctionals to existing packages. * Not letting new packages in released versions of Fedora - reduces a package's exposure to users and thereby reduces possibilities to test a package and opportunities to find bugs. - Renders Fedora less interesting to prospective contributors.
