Then there are distros that believe in following upstream and shipping

to watch upstream) but who need something more stable than rawhide.
If everybody is just throwing the latest from upstream in whatever the
feel like it, what keeps a release from being more stable than rawhide?
Should we not release any updates without a Fedora bug being filed
asking to upgrade to the latest upstream?
That's actually not unreasonable. The update process should be user
driven, as in a user needs or wants something specific from the new
upstream code, we don't just install a bot to throw whatever falls out
of upstream directly at our users whether they want/need it or not.
