That's exactly question I had in mind, thanks for bringing it up!

Personally, if we won't be able to push breaking changes in F30, then
after some time people will not be happy about outdated software and
will leave distribution I think.

For maintainers it would probably mean that F29 won't get any updates
very soon and they would have to switch to rawhide.
