So you claim to agree with the parent poster…
If you mean these points from "Mail Lists" then yes.

… so which is it now? Do you now think bugfixes which don't fix a bug in our
Bugzilla should be pushed or not?
The why\how is it a bug?
Who decided?
Handshake?
If it's a bug and you (generic) know about it,
please refrence it in bugzilla,
even if only providing a link to upstream Bugzilla\Similar
FWIW, I think they should indeed be
pushed, as the fact that the bug is not in our Bugzilla does not mean
it
doesn't affect Fedora users (and so the package IS in fact broken and should
be fixed)!
Thats what Bugzilla is for.
If people so not report bugs,
they should be educated to do so.
Whether user\dev\packager\ etc..
No one is a mind reader.
And in addition:

As "1" above. (fixes things for me)
I do report bugs.
I also read Koji notes.
But it's not a repo.

… you seem to advocate an even more conservative upgrade policy?
Semantics.
You want embellishment go Rawhide.
otherwise stick with Security\Bugs as updates.
I must say I don't understand your position at all.
Kevin Kofler
It's still the same.
Security\Bugfixes(BZ'ed ones).
So there is a refrence point.
