This is covered by the Updates Policy[1]. There is quite a bit written
there about why an incompatible update might or might not be allowed in
a stable release. It also specifically addresses security updates[2],
and describes how you can petition FESCo for an exception, either for a
particular update or as a blanket exception for your package.

That is a good point. KiCad now plans to have annual major version

I expect that Fedora will often have unsupported versions of KiCad for
long periods of time, going forward.
Is approval from FESCO or other group needed to permit major version
bumps in a stable Fedora release?
