This has been written up. I don't know if we want to announce exceptions or reasons but if so:

"""
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Needing_unreleased_features

A new example of a reason an exception for bundling libraries might be granted has been added to the guidelines. If the library is being bundled because it is a snapshot of a newer release of the library needed for new features, you may have grounds for an exception. See the complete policy for details on when an exception might be granted for this reasoning.
