Then we'd need a second (or third, if the Features repo finally happens) 
update channel with only GA + backported security fixes. Do you volunteer to 
maintain that? And what about the required resources, e.g. the extra Koji 
build target? And this does not even address spinning and distributing the 
respun images themselves.

Sure, it's theoretically a good idea, but unfortunately I'm not convinced of 
its practicality.
