I personally believe that the fedora extras should compliment Fedora Core by adopting the same style of release pattern on a wider array of packages that, for various reasons arent included in Core. The other goals such as backwards compatibility seem to have a place in a Fedora Legacy project.
I think Extras needs to be focused on a 'development' tree aproach as much as possible so that integration issues get hammered out as early as possible.
Which is what i thought i was advocating above but maybe im not as clear as i thought i was. If I were to visualize fedora core, fedora extras, and fedora legacy i would have a small layered cake (fedora core) surrounded by a larger one (fedora extras) with each with solid layers of past cakes below it (fedora legacy).
Cross-Section of my circular cakes from side profile:

mmm.. cake...
