Should we not release any updates without a Fedora bug being filed
asking to upgrade to the latest upstream?
That's actually not unreasonable. The update process should be user
driven, as in a user needs or wants something specific from the new
upstream code, we don't just install a bot to throw whatever falls out
of upstream directly at our users whether they want/need it or not.
Reality is: In most cases, updates are upstream driven, because Fedora is
just a small subset of an upstream's user-base. Also upstreams typically
happen to habe
the better insights in issue/bugs/defects a package might suffer from.
Therefore, if upstreams are doing a reasonable job (many do), keeping in
close sync to upstream releases means "preventive bug fixing".
The problem with this: Users don't notice the cases in which upgrades
"simply work" - They only notice the case, something already has gone wrong.
