That seems to me to be an entirely appropriate requirement. Without
this, there is no simple way of building a live CD that has the latest
security fixes.

Currently, Fedora makes a live CD available for download, as well as
install media. It's not a disaster for the install media users if a
critical security bug is found in (say) Firefox, because one is expected
to install and then update. But once an update has broken anaconda, you
can't build a new live CD that's safe to use. OK, you can create your
own repo and import the security updates that don't break anaconda, but
that's quite high maintenance, and even then, the new package that
breaks anaconda might have knock-on dependencies that stop you using
many of the fixed packages.
