Here's a proposal to consider:
"Official" packages for Fedora release X would consist of those packages
that exist in the development repository at the time that release X is
branched, (...)
However, builds for new packages could be requested for
non-development
branches. The binary packages would go into the same yum repos as
official packages but would have "unofficial" status.
What you propose
would become the new Extras - there would be "official"
and "unofficial" where currently there's "Core" and
"Extras".
There's no reason to ban inclusion of e.g. a new game to the
repositories UNLESS it's not obsoleting something already in.
So I'm for a policy:
- update to new versions of existing packages if there are serious
reasons (severe bugs, security fixes),
- add new packages provided they don't get installed automatically on
users' computers.
