We don't have a version limit for shotwell in rawhide, so it will inevitably be 
updated whenever somebody next runs mclazy:

I don't think it's a good idea to use rawhide version limits unless we really 
want to ensure a package is never updated *ever* again, like for gtk3 or 
glibmm2.4. Otherwise, we'll forget to remove the limit.

My suggestion is GNOME maintainers should just not create unstable releases 
unless they intend to do a stable release within the next few months. The 
unstable releases exist to be packaged, after all: there is no reason to create 
them if you don't want distros to package them. That just doesn't make sense. 
So I'm actually OK with shipping the unstable version. But alternatively, we 
could remove Shotwell from release automation, and only update it manually.

This is a problem for non-GNOME packages as well, like Flatpak. Upstreams 
should think carefully about what they are trying to achieve in creating an 
unstable release. Do you expect distros to package it, or is there some other 
purpose for the unstable release?
