 A: No. Mixing releases like this is a very bad idea. Your better options are:
-* Obtain the src.rpm for the package you wish and try and rpmbuild --rebuild it (which may or may not work depending on dependencies)
+* Obtain the src.rpm for the package you wish and try and "mock rebuild" it (which may or may not work depending on dependencies)
 * Ask the Fedora maintainer in a bug report to update the stable version if permitted by policy.

 Branched goes through several phases:
-The Branched compose runs every day starting at 09:15UTC. All branched builds at that time that are stable are composed and sycned out. Note that during freezes there will be many days where 0 packages are added to the compose. Branched is under "development/VERSION" on the mirrors. You can find a local "VERSION" mirror [http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/VERSION/ on the public mirror list]. Compose time varies depending on number of changes but is typically between 5 and 8 hours.

Compose time varies depending on number of changes but is typically between 5 and 8 hours.
 Right after branching off from rawhide, but before alpha change freeze, Branched is much like Rawhide. All packages built the previous day are composed and synced out. Bodhi is not used yet.
-At alpha change freeze, Bodhi (the Fedora updates system) is enabled. All builds must now use it. Builds are pushed to updates-testing repository and after meeting critera for stable are added to the base package repository, which is still composed once a day. During the Alpha change freeze, only updates that fix accepted blocker bugs or freeze exceptions are allowed to go stable.

During the Alpha change freeze, only updates that fix accepted blocker bugs or freeze exceptions are allowed to go stable. There is also an empty updates repository, so that you can leave stable updates configured during the branch period and not have to change this after the release.
 As soon as Alpha is set to "go", the Alpha change freeze is lifted and packages can once again go to the base repository when marked stable.

 Package maintainers should read and follow the [[Updates_Policy#Branched_release|Branched release updates policy]] for building any packages in Branched.
 Branched packages are not 100% signed until the Alpha Change freeze milestone.
