I find it interesting that in Fedora, you have something like "New
upstream releases should not necessarily be pushed to release branches."
I expect most other distros to have "New upstream releases are strongly
discouraged in release branches, unless you have a really really good
reason."

Is there any reason for this approach?

(btw, sorry, can't describe the update procedures for openSUSE, since I
don't know the exact stuff)
