I've said this before (and got 0 response), I believe there should
be some divide made between core packages (with core being quite big, not
the bare essentials, but also most of all desktop environments, etc.) and
non core packages.
Well, the reason I didn't respond before is because I thought I had no
disagreement with what you wrote. It seems obvious to me that even if
we made a policy that Fedora was primarily stable once released, that
there would always be exceptions to that rule and things that should be
updated more aggressively. So I would not advocate for any policy that
was absolute and inflexible. There should be room for human judgment to
play a role.
