I have done that on occasion in the past, but these have generally been 
unofficial/unbranded respins, since the backported builds were done outside 
of fedora infrastructure.

It also requires that other things don't break the creation of live images 
(like livecd-tools, udev, NetworkManager and friends now on f13, for gory 
details and a "fun" read, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624028
