This will ultimately be up to the people who do the stable updates. As you
can see from the fedora policy you quoted it is not possible to give exact
rules for what kind of updates will be accepted.

They will come from backports_testing I'd think. Likely packages will go
from cauldron where they are tested a bit into backports_testing, and
finally to backports.
Would this 'backports' repository section sound better to you if it is
renamed e.g. to 'rolling' ? (:
