Fedora is these days more than a collection of applications. Each release is
supposed to bring better integration of everything shipped within the release.
So, when you say:

I'm not so sure about the "easily" bit.

Let's say disconnected non-local authentication got addressed by various
components. How are you going to test this without pulling in the whole new
distro if something in say glibc got changed to accommodate it? Very hard to do
and not worth the trouble of risking massive breakage this can cause.

It's a pipe dream, IMHO.
