Puzzling terminology?
It makes sense for a distribution with a policy of not adding new
features in updates to a release. Those updates are only supposed
to contain backported bugfixes for errors in the versions shipped
with the release.
The updates policy has nothing to do with the terminology. I am not sure
whats the confusion about it. If you want to talk about the policy
regarding updates. New disruptive features tend to go into the
development tree which is not called an errata. Updates in the
maintained versions, stick close to upstream in Fedora
