What does a "stable update set" mean? Does it mean updates which don't 
break ABI/API? Does it mean backporting patches and not permitting new 
versions as updates?

I seriously doubt that anyone is pushing updates simply to push them in 
the current Fedora model. Maintainers are pushing updates because they 
feel there is a reason, a bug fixed, a security hole closed, a 
significant feature enhancement that users want (or that they think 
users want).

Without a finer definition here, it's all just hand-waving.
