This was the purpose of the various branching proposals. The main issue
there are not enough time/manpower resources to make any of the proposals
work as it needs build system changes, a full time release manager and
packagers who want to deal with it. In the end though this is a volunteer
project done on the side by various people in the Fedora community. If we
were to move this elsewhere, it would still be a volunteer activity.

I wish I had a better answer but after seeing us break the world every
RHEL-X.Y release.. I don't.
