If you want fewer changes then you're looking at backporting security fixes only and that becomes a very tedious task as time passes. And you want to talk Fedora community into doing this? Good luck. I did such backports for a handful of EPEL packages and it was a chore. I'd have to be paid a heapload of money to work on such things on a daily basis. I've seen these discussions repeat on fedora-devel over the years. I don't expect it to be any different this time. Fedora LTS is RHEL/CentOS, period. A rolling release would be nice to have, but improving Rawhide would meet that objective just as well.
