If the answer is "no", is it because of perceived

it be possible for volunteer-packaged updates to be considered for

close to upstream, so it's likely that very little patch updating etc
would have to be done - is that a correct assumption? I can see that for
heavily patched packages would be more difficult for someone who is not
the original packager to package a sane update.)
I think it's a bad idea to go down that road. Whole new Fedora Core releases
are planned to be quite frequent; within each one, the packages should be as
stable as possible.
