A Fedora release has a 13-month lifetime. There were ideas floating around
about module branch lifetimes in the order of a couple weeks!
I think something with a lifetime like that would be quite exceptional.
Maybe for very young and rapidly-evolving software — but that's
probably better left in Copr or somewhere like that. There are a lot of
potential policy knobs we can set how we like as a project.
