IMHO this is better this way. People have an incentive to report
problems instead of waiting for next month's dump, I don't clog pipes
anymore, and everyone is happy.

In fact, IIRC the lxn editors complained in the past the monthly
pushes continued in rawhide (I won't change this, that's what rawhide
is for).

There are very good reasons why DejaVu was introduced as LGC and not
full in Fedora, I don't agree 100% with them, but the breakage risk
does exist and since it affects the whole UI of most of our users,
it's not worth the risk IMHO.
