That's the only framework in which you can sensibly answer whether we
want a stable update set or not, to my mind.
What does a "stable update set" mean? Does it mean updates which don't
break ABI/API? Does it mean backporting patches and not permitting new
versions as updates?
I seriously doubt that anyone is pushing updates simply to push them in
the current Fedora model. Maintainers are pushing updates because they
feel there is a reason, a bug fixed, a security hole closed, a
significant feature enhancement that users want (or that they think
users want).
Without a finer definition here, it's all just hand-waving.
