Then we'd need a second (or third, if the Features repo finally happens)
update channel with only GA + backported security fixes. Do you volunteer to
maintain that? And what about the required resources, e.g. the extra Koji
build target? And this does not even address spinning and distributing the
respun images themselves.
Sure, it's theoretically a good idea, but unfortunately I'm not convinced of
its practicality.
