This is a bow for QA team :)

Till QA tests won't say that new feature won't break system, then it can
not be published. Idea is to have as much automatic tests as it is
possbile. Ofcourse this means effort but in time perspective there is
chance to have thing working with less human input.

For example:

LTS with python2 is about to be updated with python3. This means python3
can be pushed for LTS repository same time when all dependent packages to
python3 were builded for LTS, and without problems can replace old python2
packages and related rpms.
