If the answer is "no", is it because of perceived destabilization or because it takes time from new development? If it is the latter, would it be possible for volunteer-packaged updates to be considered for inclusion as official updates? (I believe that the FC2 Gnome is very close to upstream, so it's likely that very little patch updating etc would have to be done - is that a correct assumption? I can see that for heavily patched packages would be more difficult for someone who is not the original packager to package a sane update.)
I think it's a bad idea to go down that road. Whole new Fedora Core releases are planned to be quite frequent; within each one, the packages should be as stable as possible.
I think that people who want 2.6.1 can make the packages and put them in fedora.us for cooking.
