The question is whether Fedora intends to be a distribution suitable for day-to-day general purpose use by people who are not necessarily that interested in Fedora per se - whether it's got an aim to be a general-purpose operating system like other distributions do - or not. That's the only framework in which you can sensibly answer whether we want a stable update set or not, to my mind.
What does a "stable update set" mean? Does it mean updates which don't break ABI/API? Does it mean backporting patches and not permitting new versions as updates?
I seriously doubt that anyone is pushing updates simply to push them in the current Fedora model. Maintainers are pushing updates because they feel there is a reason, a bug fixed, a security hole closed, a significant feature enhancement that users want (or that they think users want).
Without a finer definition here, it's all just hand-waving. ~spot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
