There will never (as policy stands now) be an "official" anaconda update
during the lifespan of a Fedora release.

- hopefully this view is shared by the Fedora developers?

We welcome you to demand this from the Fedora Project, we would also
enjoy this to be the case but have found it not to be in the past. With
a 6 month release cycle it might not be the best use of resources to
rebuild anaconda whenever it's broken (or needs an update).
