Also, the current policy does not in fact constitute an unbreakable
roadblock. It seems to be being ignored in current discussion, but it
contains an exception clause:

https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Package_update_acceptance_criteria#Exception_process

it's short, but it's there. You can get an exception to the policy with
majority approval from FESCo. Technically speaking, no update is
completely blocked by the current policy.
