A solution may be for someone to write a plugin that restores the protected packages feature. Fedora users are clearly used to such a feature and expect it while upstream doesnt want to add hand holding features, but provide a method to do the same. On 5 January 2014 18:32, Lars E. Pettersson

Looking at Nextcloud releases, it seems that they do a major release once a year. It should be possible to catch up with the upstream even if there is a single update per Fedora release. Update to Nextcloud 11 in Fedora 27, 12 in current Fedora 28 and then in Fedora 29 cath up with upstream.
