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.
